The Edmonton Oilers appear to have found a willing trade partner for Darnell Nurse, but they’ve run into a slight snag. Free agency is just days away, and you’ve got to think that the urgency to get Nurse off the books before then is ramping up for the Oilers. Rumours swirled around a potential trade during last week’s draft, but Edmonton GM Stan Bowman did not pull the trigger on anything.

One soccer fan got a bit too excited during Canada’s FIFA World Cup Round of 32 match against South Africa on Sunday.

A., however, were still finding ways to root for the national team and kept entertained throughout.

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%.

It sounds like Edmonton Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse is generating trade interest across the NHL. The offseason has officially kicked off across the league, with multiple big trades already taking place over the last several days. Edmonton, so far, has not been involved in any of those deals, but that could be changing soon.

The Edmonton Oilers were not fooling around with their coaching hires on Tuesday morning. Mike Babcock is the new head coach of the Oilers, but the team also brought on D. J. Smith as an associate coach as well. The details surrounding Babcock’s contract with the Oilers have not been revealed, but we have gotten an interesting tidbit on how Edmonton was able to bring Smith on board.

The highs and lows of the FIFA World Cup were on display for Canada following a 2-1 loss to Switzerland. There was triumph in becoming the first Canadian men’s national team to advance to a World Cup knockout match, but also disappointment in not earning a result to keep Canada in Vancouver for the Round of 32 and potentially the Round of 16 as well.

Don't expect an apology from fibbing Canada coach Jesse Marsch

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.
