It sounds like Edmonton Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse is generating trade interest across the NHL.

Edmonton Oilers fans shouldn’t rule out Connor Ingram returning to the crease for the 2026-27 season. Ingram was acquired by the Oilers from the Utah Mammoth ahead of the 2025-26 season and wound up making 32 regular-season appearances, along with another five starts in the playoffs. In his 32 regular-season appearances, he put up a 2.60 GAA paired with a .899 SV%.

The Edmonton Oilers leadership group made it clear to management that they needed a coach who would push them. Under head coach Kris Knoblauch, and many others before, for that matter, both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl seemed to have a big say in how the team played, and how much they played. That will no longer be the case, as the two big guns, now in their 30s, realize something different needed to happen.

More rain is forecast Friday evening through Sunday across central Alberta with widespread totals of 30 to 70 mm possible.
 
With the ground already saturated from the storm this past weekend and with rainfall totals for the month of June well above normal, additional rain will increase the risk of overland flooding, washouts, and potential impacts to infrastructure.
 
There remains low certainty regarding the exact location of the rainfall across the region. The area of heaviest rain is forecast to fall in a narrow band which could lead to more localized impacts than we observed last weekend. The area will become clearer as the system approaches later this week. 

Now is a good time to assess further risk and take action to prepare for more rainfall in central Alberta. This statement may be updated to include more information as confidence improves later this week. Rainfall warnings are likely and will be issued closer to the event as forecast confidence increases.

Additionally, another system is also forecast Sunday night into early next week that may bring additional heavy rainfall to vulnerable areas of central Alberta.
