Oilers Roster Outlook for 2026-27 | Edmonton Oilers News

The Edmonton Oilers are shaping up for 2026-27 with a loaded forward core of McDavid, Draisaitl, and Hyman, while seven players, including contract-holding Colton Dach, battle for the remaining spots. Defense looks solid with Bouchard, Ekholm, and Walman leading the charge, but competition for the sixth spot pits Emberson against Mukhamadullin, who may have an edge due to his trade history. Goalie depth is crowded with Jarry, Andersen, and Levi all on the roster, forcing tough roster decisions and limiting room for extra forwards or defensemen. With $5.9M in cap space, the front office must decide on Dach’s future and whether to move players like Spencer Stastney—potentially via waivers or trade—as training camp heats up with fierce competition for final roster spots.
