The Edmonton Oilers are in a frantic race to land a top-six scorer to pair with McDavid and Draisaitl, but their lack of elite assets and a weak prospect pool make it tough. With preseason looming, GM Stan Bowman may have to consider trading prospects like Isaac Howard — but even that might not be enough to lure stars like Kirill Marchenko or Owen Tippett, who are either too coveted or protected by contracts. With rivals like the Islanders and Canadiens circling, Edmonton’s chances are slim, and fans may need to settle for less than the superstar they hoped for.

The Oilers closed rookie camp with a dominant six-to-one win over the Flames, spotlighting key prospects poised to fill roster gaps when injuries strike.

These players are proving they can deliver under pressure — and the Oilers are watching closely for their next call-up.

Edmonton Oilers trim their rookie camp roster, sending three amateur tryouts—Weston Cameron, Olli Wahlroos, and Kyle Heger—to the sidelines, while goalie Ryan Cameron returns to junior hockey with Sioux Falls. It’s a routine but crucial step in evaluating young talent ahead of preseason and training camp, where tough decisions shape the NHL roster—and for prospects, every door closing might just open another down the line.
