Oilers' Hauser, Sundin Face Contract Deadlines

Edmonton Oilers prospects Petr Hauser and Albin Sundin face critical deadlines for securing entry-level contracts, or risk hitting unrestricted free agency. Hauser, a 22-year-old forward, has been playing for Vitkovice HC in the Czech League, while Sundin, a 20-year-old offensive defenseman, is with Timra IK in Sweden. The pressure is on, especially for late-round picks, as Hausers deadline is June 1, 2026, and Sundins is even sooner. Connor McDavid stands out as the only fourth, fifth, or sixth-rounder from last years draft to see NHL action, and hes an Oiler too. Meanwhile, the team has secured seventh-rounder William Nicholl, whos already making waves with the Bakersfield Condors. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
