Connor McDavid's future with the Edmonton oilers is making big NHL headlines after another disappointing playoff exit. During a recent media appearance, Gretzky addressed the mounting speculation, joking that he doesn’t want Edmonton fans to damage his statue if he told McDavid to leave. The talk also turned to current NHL trade rumours, playoff frustrations and questions about Edmonton’s long-term championship hopes.

Edmonton oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse has been cited in NHL trade rumours involving San Jose Sharks forward Collin Graf, with salary cap and roster considerations being noted as contributing factors. Edmonton wants the flexibility, and San Jose wants the experience in defence. However, Nurse’s no-movement clause and his demands for draft picks complicate things, and make this deal a bit uncertain, even though it would be mutually beneficial to both franchises in terms of overall outlook.

NHL trade rumors are heating up as free agency approaches, and Alex Tuch of the Buffalo Sabres is reportedly in the Edmonton oilers’ crosshairs. Recent rumors suggest Tuch’s contract value is taking a hit due to his inconsistent play in the playoffs. It’s an opportunity for Edmonton, who are searching for top-six scoring depth and tight salary cap restrictions and roster restructuring needs.

The Edmonton oilers are being floated as a possibility to make bold NHL offseason rumours after insider Jeff Marek floated the idea of a possible Pavel Dorofeyev offer sheet scenario. Edmonton could turn to the Vegas Golden Knights winger to add to its scoring depth after a disappointing playoff exit. Vegas’ salary-cap concerns and Dorofeyev’s breakout performances have fuelled speculation over one of the NHL’s most aggressive possible offseason moves.

NHL trade rumors are swirling around Edmonton oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse, and the San Jose Sharks are reportedly interested in him because of his $9.25 million cap hit. One of the most talked-about NHL updates is the report that San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier might go after a major contract absorption move. Edmonton looks at roster flexibility after an inconsistent season and playoff struggles.

Mike Babcock has squashed rumours that he is returning to the Edmonton oilers or taking other coaching jobs in the NHL. The former coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs said he is still retired and has no interest in coming back to the league. His answer comes amid a backdrop of increasing NHL coaching speculation and ongoing debate about his former achievements, controversies and legacy in pro hockey.

Trade rumours involving the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton oilers are heating up as reports have surfaced that Morgan Rielly and Darnell Nurse were being linked together in a potential defenseman swap. The rumours started making their way around in NHL offseason chatter and soon became one of the league’s biggest talking points. Nothing seems to be on the horizon, but the situation indicates the increasing uncertainty surrounding the defensive futures of both teams as the 2026 NHL offseason approaches.

The Edmonton oilers enter the offseason with their most pressing problem still unresolved: finding a reliable No. 1 goaltender. Jeff Marek has publicly connected the team to Buffalo's Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, a 26-year-old Finnish netminder on a $4.75M AAV deal through 2028-29. With Tristan Jarry viewed as a backup option and GM Stan Bowman operating under tight cap constraints, a creative trade structure involving Buffalo could emerge before the draft. The Sabres, for their part, are dealing with a crowded crease and a Devon Levi situation that has no clean resolution without moving a goalie. Both sides have reasons to engage.

The Edmonton oilers are connected to Jordan Binnington as they reshape their goaltending ahead of a critical offseason. Binnington, coming off a poor regular season with the Blues, is available with one year left on his deal. But the Florida Panthers could complicate Edmonton's pursuit depending on Bobrovsky's contract situation. The oilers also carry the weight of the failed Tristan Jarry trade, which adds salary cap complications that Bowman must resolve before making any significant move in goal.

Connor McDavid’s future with the Edmonton oilers is once again a hot topic in the NHL after speculation linked the superstar captain to the Minnesota Wild. While no trade is imminent, with Minnesota’s deep prospect pool, cap flexibility and long-term roster planning, the franchise could be a future destination if the Edmonton oilers eventually change their championship-building strategy around Connor McDavid.

Edmonton oilers forward Evander Kane has been unusually vocal about his ongoing legal and family struggle with his ex-wife, Anna Kane. A National Hockey League veteran accused her of harassment, breaching court orders, and destroying his reputation. This has been one of the biggest NHL updates and NHL news stories of the week, getting a lot of attention during the Edmonton oilers’ playoff run.

In 2026, the combined wealth of Edmonton oilers star Leon Draisaitl and Canadian actress Celeste Desjardins grows. Draisaitl’s large NHL contracts, endorsement deals and career earnings continue to be the biggest contributors, while Desjardins has grown her entertainment and modeling success. Their improving financial profile has been a hot topic in NHL news roundup conversations this year.

Insider Pierre LeBrun has talked about possible contract concerns and NHL trade rumors and this is sparking more questions about Connor McDavid's long-term future with the Edmonton oilers. The superstar captain is still committed to Edmonton, but another disappointing playoff performance could affect future extension talks. Several NHL franchises are said to be watching the situation closely as speculation surrounding the league's biggest star continues to grow.

The Edmonton oilers are facing growing pressure after another early playoff exit, and Darnell Nurse’s future has become a major offseason storyline. With four years remaining on his $74 million contract, Nurse has emerged as a possible trade candidate as Edmonton looks to reshape its roster around Connor McDavid’s championship window. NHL insider David Pagnotta linked the San Jose Sharks as a potential destination, though Nurse’s no-movement clause and sizeable cap hit could complicate any deal.

As 2026 arrives, Darnell Nurse and Morgan Rielly will be among the NHL’s highest-paid defensemen. Edmonton oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs stars are still raking in the big bucks through long-term deals, endorsement partnerships and luxury investments. They are becoming more popular in NHL updates and playoffs coverage, so a lot of people get interested in their combined net worth, career earnings, luxury lifestyle and future financial prospects.

In 2026, Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle McDavid are one of the NHL’s most successful power couples. The Edmonton oilers’ captain makes money on contracts and endorsements. Lauren Kyle McDavid grows business and interior design projects. Together, they have a reported net worth between $35 million and $42 million thanks to their NHL careers, high-end brand partnerships, entrepreneurial ventures and growing long-term investments.

Lauren Kyle shared photos and videos from Brian McDavid’s postponed 60th birthday bash in Turks and Caicos. The Edmonton oilers captain was accompanied by family members on the luxury vacation that included beachside dinners and activities at the Amanyara resort. The event also reignited the long-time influence Brian McDavid has had on Connor McDavid’s NHL career and development.

The Edmonton oilers enter the offseason after a first-round exit to the Anaheim Ducks, with defensive depth on the right side emerging as a key concern. Veteran writer Jim Matheson has pointed to Buffalo Sabres defenseman Michael Kesselring as a potential trade target, highlighting his familiarity with Edmonton and untapped upside. Despite modest recent numbers, Kesselring’s past production suggests a possible buy-low opportunity. The oilers may still explore multiple defensive options in a competitive market.

There’s increasing coaching speculation surrounding the Edmonton oilers after reports surfaced connecting the franchise to former Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy. Sources say Edmonton could consider a leadership change even with Kris Knoblauch having an extension on his contract after another playoff disappointment. This has quickly become one of the biggest NHL updates involving the team this offseason.

Mostly through record deals, lucrative endorsement contracts and a big leap in career earnings. The captains of the Edmonton oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs are estimated to be worth between $60 million and $100 million combined. Their commercial value has grown; their signing bonuses and worldwide popularity have also helped to boost them into hockey’s pantheon of marketing stars.

Pierre LeBrun's report suggests Connor McDavid is likely to give the Edmonton oilers one more season before making a definitive call on his future. With his contract running through 2027-28, McDavid is not demanding a trade, but another early playoff exit could shift his thinking significantly. LeBrun sees a blockbuster trade, not free agency departure, as the realistic worst-case scenario for Edmonton. The pressure now falls squarely on Kris Knoblauch, Stan Bowman, and a roster that has the talent but has repeatedly fallen short of expectations.

Lauren Kyle McDavid's custom playoff jackets, made through her brand Sports Club Atelier, became a genuine superstition across the 2025 NHL playoffs. Worn by players' partners from multiple teams, the jackets were swapped or shelved based on game results. The Philadelphia Flyers' series was the most notable example. Lauren openly acknowledged the superstition. Despite the ritual, Edmonton fell in the first round, and the oilers fired coach Kris Knoblauch days later.

The Edmonton oilers have been denied permission to interview former Vegas Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy, according to NHL insider Frank Seravalli. Vegas still owns Cassidy’s contract after firing him, so the team could have some say in who else might hire him. The decision adds pressure to Edmonton’s coaching search as the franchise seeks stability and leadership moving forward this offseason period, heading into next season.

Following the Edmonton oilers’ playoff exit, Connor McDavid and his wife, Lauren Kyle, are jetting off on a luxury offseason trip to Turks and Caicos. Lauren Kyle posted some beautiful photos of her holiday, which exposed the Caribbean trip of the NHL player. In other NHL news, there’s a lot of buzz about Edmonton’s upcoming roster moves and Connor McDavid’s long-term future with the club.

Jordan Kyrou is one of the most popular names in NHL trade rumors after being linked to the Edmonton oilers and Ottawa Senators.

Edmonton oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl and wife Celeste Desjardins are building a new home in Edmonton, and interior design help is coming from Lauren Kyle, wife of Connor McDavid, according to reports. The move has generated some discussion amongst NHL fans, especially after the recent speculation surrounding Draisaitl’s future with the Edmonton oilers after the team’s disappointing Stanley Cup Playoffs exit earlier this season.

The Edmonton oilers are reportedly looking at signing unrestricted free agent Bobby McMann after Connor McDavid expressed concern with the team’s recent play.

The post followed just days after the Edmonton oilers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Anaheim Ducks. Fans took to social media quickly with the stylish celebration photos and talked about Leon Draisaitl’s offseason future, injuries and the Edmonton oilers’ title aspirations heating up around the NHL.

Following a letdown 2025-26 NHL playoff exit, the Buffalo Sabres are said to be considering an offseason trade of goaltender Devon Levi. Levi’s future in Buffalo is in question. The Edmonton oilers, Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Flyers are all expected to monitor the young netminder’s availability closely.

Following a disappointing playoff loss to the Anaheim Ducks, the Edmonton oilers are reviewing head coach Kris Knoblauch. General manager Stan Bowman announced that a total organization overhaul is going on. The oilers are in trouble; their line usage is still a bit of a mess, and their expectations have gone up, so now they have decisions to make, and it could make all the difference in how they choose to coach in the upcoming season.
