It hasn’t been the season that Jesse Puljujärvi was probably expecting. Puljujärvi put up a historically-good 17 points in seven games on a Gold Medal winning Finnish squad at the 2016 World Juniors, and was subsequently taken fourth overall at the NHL draft by the Edmonton Oilers. His teammate Patrik Laine had a seamless transition to the NHL, scoring…
Brian Boyle was acquired by the Toronto Maple Leafs for a pretty hefty price at this year’s trade deadline. He said at the end of the team’s season that he would be open to returning to Toronto, but as a 32-year-old, it’s also likely going to be Boyle’s final chance to make a big payday…
The narrative surrounding Alexander Radulov has completely flipped in the past year. When he was inked by the Montreal Canadiens to a one-year, $5.75 million deal on the first day of free agency last summer, not long after the team had pulled off a massively polarizing swap of P.K. Subban for Shea Weber, it was met…
When the Vancouver Canucks signed Ryan Miller back in July 2014, it was surely a move that was expected to make the club competitive. But things didn’t work out that way. Miller was solid for the Canucks, save for an injury-riddled 2014-15 season, but the team only made one playoff appearance during his three years…
The #Oilers have recalled Griffin Reinhart from the @Condors. — Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) April 15, 2017 With the Bakersfield Condors now eliminated from the AHL playoffs, the Edmonton Oilers have recalled reinforcements from their farm. Griffin Reinhart, the 2012 fourth overall pick who was acquired in a trade with the Islanders back in 2015, will…
According to Oilers Tweeter Ryan Batty, the Edmonton Oilers are offering fans an alternate way to attend the team’s playoff games at Rogers Place. Unfortunately, your $80 ticket (!!!) won’t get you a seat. Or a view of the game, for that matter. All this pass does is give you access to the arena’s concourse…
This is part of a playoff preview series based at NHLNumbers.com Here it is. The Edmonton Oilers are in the playoffs. Connor McDavid will get his first opportunity to show the hockey world that he is, in fact, the best player around when the games matter most. The first test will be the San Jose…
Tonight was a beautiful role reversal. Over the past decade, the Oilers have finished many seasons in meaningless games against the Canucks. Tonight wasn’t really different, but instead of the Oilers playing things out with a roster full of random call-ups against Canucks fooling around in a shinny game while prepping for a playoff run, it was Vancouver on…
Before the Penguins’ 2016 Stanley Cup run, Nick Bonino was largely known as a guy who seems to be thrown into big trades. In 2014, the Canucks acquired him from the Ducks in a deal for Ryan Kesler. A year later, he was moved by the Canucks to the Penguins for Brandon Sutter. But after…
Tonight’s win over the San Jose Sharks was Cam Talbot’s 41st of the season, passing Hall of Fame legend Grant Fuhr for most wins in a single season all-time by an Edmonton Oiler. We talk a lot, as we should, about the growing legacy of Connor McDavid being written in front of our eyes, but Talbot…
The world is a completely different place since last time the City of Edmonton got to watch playoff hockey. It’s been a long time. A really, really long time. How long, you ask? Let me walk you through it.
According to the team’s official Twitter account, the Edmonton Oilers have inked NCAA free agent forward Joseph Gambardella to a two-year, entry-level contract.
