Edmonton Oilers Rumours

27 May 2026 06:42:59
EDM - Kyrou

SJS - Nurse, Jiricek, EDM 2026 3rd

STL - Eklund, EDM 2028 3rd

28 May 2026 14:13:34
So Blues lose Kyrou and Jiricek for a 3rd.

Lmfao Kyrou is better than Eklund and Jiricek was defenseman of the year in the OHL.... How does this make since for Blues horrible.

28 May 2026 14:18:36
St Louis gets nothing for a top line right winger. The expected return features at least a 1st and a top prospect.

29 May 2026 03:39:09
Kyrou got 46 points and has been on the block for years now. Eklund is 4 years younger and 3 million cheaper with potentially similar offense. How is Eklund nothing, he had the better season?

29 May 2026 13:27:50
Kyrou had a bad year. He has had 3 70+ point seasons prior. So the better player is Kyrou and then you take the Blues #2 prospects for nothing. This is worse then bad. It's just plain dumb

29 May 2026 23:14:03
Fair enough. But if he has another bad year he’ll be negative value. Also Eklund has had a better start to his career, Don’t know enough about him but he could easily outscore Kyrou again next season.

01 Jun 2026 14:43:35
4 years of 30+ goals and 70+ points and one bad year he has negative value. Get the f outa here. Also Jirecek was the best OHL dman last year and he is just a throw in Lmfao for 3rd rnd picks.

Get a grip.

01 Jun 2026 17:12:44
Definitely a down year for Kyrou. Blues likely hold onto him until they get the offer they want for him. See how his knee is doing after his procedure on it.

02 Jun 2026 01:07:53
I definitely said 2 years. Two years of 45 points making over 8 million, what would you expect for him?

MG69 I don’t think the Blues will give him away. They’d be getting a young top 6 forward on a better contract back.

02 Jun 2026 13:42:17
Bro you still don't seem to grasp 3 years of 30+ goals, 70 points. Also Jiricek was the best RHD man in the OHL last year. They project him to be like Pietrangelo. Yet he is a throw in for a lesser player in Eklund who makes 2 mil less than a 30 goals scorer. Get an effin grip.

02 Jun 2026 17:24:03
Eklund is going to be a great player in his own right, there just isn't an urgency yet for the Blues to move Kyrou or Thomas for that matter. They set the asking price high for both of them and likely won't budge off of that price until they have to.

The Blues aren't hard pressed for cap space and can only hope that Kyrou has a rebound year to increase his value.

02 Jun 2026 22:37:42
Bro you’ve made a false claim in every reply.

Fact: Eklund is 4.5 years younger.
Fact: Eklund makes 2.5M less.
Fact: Eklund had more points this season.
Fact: Eklund has had a better start to his career.

Kyrou has been rumoured to be on the block for years. Not saying he gets moved and not saying he doesn’t bounce back. But currently they have a diminishing asset and this trade there getting a good player back.

03 Jun 2026 03:02:11
If Eklund is as good as you advertised, why are you suggesting that San Jose would trade him for the corpse of Darnell Nurse, a D prospect, and a 3rd round pick that will be in the 85-96th range?

03 Jun 2026 08:34:04
He’s also been rumoured to be on the block. Sharks are going to probably draft another high end forward and they need help on D.

Nurse, like Kyrou, had a down year offensively but he usually ranks high in even strength points. He’s been rumoured to be connected to the Sharks.

03 Jun 2026 13:41:18
Ebs kyrou is not diminishing returns lol. Also the top rhd d prospect in the ohl is not a freaking throw in. Jiricek is not for say and kyrou is most likely being traded for mctavish..


We dont need eklund nobody is taking the trash called nurse.. and edm 3rds dont have value.

03 Jun 2026 18:27:50
McTavish and Eklund probably have similar values. All that whining for nothing. Eklund probably more.

Nurse is overpaid and his value is a bit of a mystery but after this discussion I learnt he ranks 9th over his career (9 seasons) in even strength points for D.

03 Jun 2026 21:05:15
Nobody wants Nurse. Eklund is a winger. McTavish is a center.

Once again you have failed to show the value in trading a better player in Kyrou for a lesser in Eklund and then have the Blues best defensive prospect add in for notthing.

03 Jun 2026 22:29:51
I think McTavish was playing wing after being healthy scratched wasn’t he?

Is McTavish better than Kyrou? I’ll concede the Blues might go in a different direction but still an interesting trade in my opinion.

Now I’m hoping Kyrou has another down year.

04 Jun 2026 14:08:16
Lol the entire Blues had a down year and then they came back and were on fire. Jiricek will be playing in the NHL next year. Kyrou will be back to normal.
The fact that you hope for another down year shows you know he is the better player.

04 Jun 2026 18:24:19
"My trade proposal didn't pass the vibe check so I went on an 8-day rant about why it makes sense, just to walk it back on day 8 and admit that maybe this trade proposal isn't going to be realistic."

05 Jun 2026 00:21:04
Great insight.

30 Apr 2026 07:09:36
EDM - Nurse, Jarry, 2026 2nd

OTT - Foegele, Ulmark

30 Apr 2026 19:16:49
Think Oilers would have to add a first and something else more enticing for anyone to take on Nurse's contract.
Would be great to see an upgrade in net (if Ullmark bounces back).

01 May 2026 01:57:24
I think after the playoffs you’re probably right. But would you say pre playoffs this would be close? Ulmark would’ve probably seen as bad contract.

01 May 2026 03:24:47
It's hard to say. I just think that Nurse's contract is one of those unmovable contracts

I think Bowman really made things worse trading Skinner for Jarry. I don't know how he fixes that mess.

04 May 2026 22:22:07
There's no fit for Nurse in Ottawa. On paper that would mean Ottawa is paying $24.5 million just to the left side of their defense.

15 Mar 2026 19:08:43
EDM - Nurse, 2028 1st, 2026 3rd

DET - Copp, Cossa

15 Mar 2026 15:31:27
EDM - Regula, 2028 3rd

DAL - Lundkvist
Or
BUF - Kesselring

04 Mar 2026 05:42:38
EDM - Nurse

VAN - Pettersson

04 Mar 2026 18:20:34
Nurse has actually been a pretty consistent player. 35-40 point guy that can skate and is tough. Probably 3-4M overpaid.

Pettersson is wildly inconsistent. Looking more like a 70 point guy (only 55 his last two seasons). 3-4M overpaid.

Pettersson the better player but worse/riskier contract.

05 Mar 2026 14:19:03
Not a good trade.

06 Mar 2026 23:13:02
For who?

09 Mar 2026 13:52:16
For whom ever gets Nurse, dude sucks.

11 Mar 2026 05:04:15
35-40 point D, doesn’t suck, just way overpaid.

16 Mar 2026 17:21:02
Dude sucks for his pay. If he is so great why not keep him?

16 Mar 2026 23:17:32
Where did I say he was great? Again 35-40 point D is pretty solid.

I’m proposing a trade for a guy making over 200k a point not Nathan McKinnon.

19 Mar 2026 03:54:28
If Nurse made 6.5M he’d be looked at similar to Parayko.

28 Feb 2026 14:00:20
Not sure how Edmonton could get out of the Jarry deal.. I kinda think would have been better to keep Skinner.

Anyone see any possible way that Jarry and obviously other peices could be moved for Binnington? Oilers are in a short window to win it all, and big game Binnington could be the guy to take them over??

I doubt Oilers would be able to do this.. but if my Habs cant win yet.. wanna see McDavid get a cup

28 Feb 2026 17:53:54
Not sure what picks the Oil have but Savoie maybe another prospect and a 1st plus Jarry for Binnington. I say this as Binnington has proved his play improves immensely the more important the game is.

28 Feb 2026 22:26:08
That's why id like to see him with Oilers. Hes a big game guy, something that Skinner wasn't able to be and I have less faith in Jarry for that.

02 Mar 2026 14:31:33
Blues say no.

04 Mar 2026 05:53:09
In what world would the Blues say no to that? Lol

07 Mar 2026 16:07:20
Ebsolute.. Blues would say no because Jarry is a sieve.

07 Mar 2026 18:26:20
So is Binnington. Why wouldn’t the Blues want a promising young player and a first for a goalie that doesn’t do anything for them?

24 Feb 2026 13:11:35
Edmonton:
Domi C/ RW
3rd 2028

Toronto:
Mangiapane RW
2nd 2028.

27 Feb 2026 06:09:49
I like it!

21 Jan 2026 04:43:22
EDM - Mangiapane, 2026 2nd

NJD - Brown, 2026 4th.

28 Dec 2025 14:19:44
EDM: quinn hutson


CHI: murphy (50%)

I like this move for edmonton. they get a very reliable big body defensive minded defenseman for their next run. he has the style and leadership similar to ekholm while playing 6 minutes less than he did last year on the 3rd pairing in chicago. they could make the 2.2m (50%) cap hit work and i think he would consider resigning with them

chicago gets a good natural right handed winger on their timeline.

22 Dec 2025 01:59:33
EDM - Mangiapane, 2026 3rd

BUF - Levi.

22 Dec 2025 22:26:57
UPL and Ellis are both young and look to be Buffalos goalies going forward. Levi fits the Oil timeline IMO.

25 Dec 2025 22:44:37
I dunno.. is Levi another Justin Pogge?

28 Dec 2025 22:17:51
Did UPL not request to be moved?

29 Dec 2025 04:28:57
I think Levi still has potential hopefully he turns into an NHLer. I didn’t hear that about UPL but with his contract I doubt he gets moved.

28 Nov 2025 17:29:22
Habs slafkovski-dach-reinbacher-fowler-1st pick 2025- 1st pick 2026

Edmonton vs habs:
Nugent-Hopkins

Struble

13 Jul 2025 00:53:35
none of these hold value. too much going one way.

15 Jul 2025 23:11:06
Can you expend? Which offer is Too Much given from the habs?

20 Jul 2025 12:50:12
really? you don't see it?

08 Jul 2025 02:00:10
Not sure it works out salary cap wise.. but ..


Edmonton recieves.

Matheson
Newhook
Dobes


Habs receive

Nugent Hopkins

09 Jul 2025 17:26:25
If habs retain 50% on mattheson.

12 Jul 2025 16:06:13
I'd rather see that package go to Anaheim for Mac T.

04 Jul 2025 04:40:43
EDM - Berezkin

TBL - Howard.

09 Jul 2025 01:58:34
O’Reilly*.

26 Jun 2025 19:09:59
UTH - Maccelli

EDM - Nurse, 2026 2nd, 2027 1st.

27 Jun 2025 09:10:14
Is Nurse that bad?

28 Jun 2025 00:36:47
Hard for me to judge exactly but I’m guessing Nurse is a 5M guy. Oil would be better off without him using 9M in cap.

25 Jun 2025 18:31:25
Three-way trade:

VAN: Demko (UFA '26) to EDM (1M ret.)
2027 3rd to MTL

MTL: Laine (UFA '26) to VAN (2.2M ret.)

EDM: Pickard (UFA '26) to MTL
2026 2nd
2026 3rd

- VAN promotes Shilovs and dumps an injury-plagued asset, while adding much-needed scoring for the same cost of Demko's outgoing cap hit.

- EDM takes a one-year chance on improving their goaltending, while saving 1M on dumping Pickard and 1M on the Demko contract. (No one's taking Skinner)

- MTL uses cap space to facilitate these moves, adding 3 picks for taking on 3.7M in cap space.


EDM has little in tradable assets, and the cap penalties for that stupid Jack Campbell contract are worst in the next 2 seasons. There are precious few ways to add when cap space and tradable assets are scarce. It will be interesting to see what they do.

Laine, Demko and Pickard being UFAs after this season create an interesting one-year experiment.

25 Jun 2025 22:53:54
I think this is pretty solid ??.

23 Jun 2025 01:12:14
Oilers need a goalie and are in win now mode

Oilers trade

Matt Savoie

Sam O'Reilly

Skinner


Leafs

Stolarz

23 Jun 2025 04:52:17
Aren't the Leafs in a win now mode as well???

23 Jun 2025 06:49:57
Goalies get traded for 3rd round picks not top prospects.

23 Jun 2025 22:00:57
Leafs having a starter in Woll and oilers need to show mcdavid they are serious about winning. He's going to walk otherwise. Also most staring goalies don't make 2.5 mil a year and are top 3 in league stats.

24 Jun 2025 02:20:21
Goalies are too unpredictable to trade that much for. Stolarz value is probably closer to a 2nd.

21 Jun 2025 20:20:35
EDM - Arvidsson, Rodrigue

CHI - Soderblom.

11 Mar 2025 06:23:11
Just an idea for off-season. Edm: nurse ( 1 million retained) remaining contract. 3rd round.chi: brodie. Gives Edmonton room to go for marner. Still 4 years on nurse but get another pick and a ok bottom 4. Brodie only one year left so serviceable at 1 year gives Edmonton more flexibility.
