Oilers' Malcom Gastrin: Selected by Oilers in Round 3
Rotowire
Gastrin was the 84th overall pick by Edmonton in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Gastrin becomes the second member of his family to be drafted in two years, as his older brother Milton was selected No. 37 overall by Washington in 2025 and recently dealt to St. Louis in the Jordan Kyrou trade. Malcom isn't quite as offensively gifted as his brother, but he does have extremely strong hockey sense, which allows him to constantly get open and create scoring chances. Gastrin also has time on his side, as he won't turn 18 years of age until the middle of August. He should be in the conversation for the Swedish World Junior team this upcoming holiday season.

Oilers' Rudolfs Berzkalns: BC commit off to Edmonton
Rotowire
Berzkalns was the 58th overall pick by Edmonton in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Born in Latvia, Berzkalns played his youth hockey in upstate New York before spending the past two years with Muskegon of the USHL. He took on an increased offensive role this past season, posting 13 goals and 25 points in 48 games before adding 10 points in 12 playoff appearances. At 6-foot-4 and north of 200 pounds, Berzkalns is a big-bodied center with a reasonable amount of skill. He plays a simple, direct game, which should serve him well when he heads to Boston College in the fall. Berzkalns is likely to be in line for an immediate role with the Eagles upon arriving on campus.

Rotowire
Murphy signed a five-year, $20.5 million contract with Edmonton on Monday, per PuckPedia.
Murphy collected five goals, 17 points, 70 shots on net, 138 blocked shots, 90 hits and 71 PIM across 80 regular-season games between Edmonton and Chicago in 2025-26. He also picked up two goals, one assist, 12 hits and 15 blocks in six outings during the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Oilers. Murphy will probably occupy a bottom-four role while seeing plenty of time on the penalty kill in the 2026-27 campaign.

Oilers' Connor Ungar: Agrees to one-year deal
Rotowire
Ungar signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Oilers on Thursday.
Ungar had a 2.51 GAA and a .923 save percentage in 13 outings with AHL Bakersfield in the 2025-26 regular season. He also posted an 11-9-4 record and 2.33 GAA across 25 ECHL regular-season appearances between Fort Wayne, Greensboro and Orlando. The 24-year-old hasn't played in the NHL and is expected to begin 2026-27 in the minors.
Raty signed a one-year, two-way contract with Edmonton on Monday.
Raty produced 20 goals and 57 points in 51 regular-season games for Karpat of Finland's Liiga in 2025-26. He will compete for a bottom-six role with the Oilers during training camp. However, he could also spend time in the minors or head back to Europe if he fails to crack Edmonton's Opening Night roster.
Murphy scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks in Game 6.
Murphy did fine with three points, 12 shots on net, 12 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over six playoff outings. The 33-year-old defenseman wasn't able to pull the Oilers into the second round, and he'll now turn his attention to unrestricted free agency in the summer. Murphy had 17 points, 90 hits, 138 blocked shots and 71 PIM over 80 regular-season contests between Edmonton and Chicago.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Scores in season-ending loss
Rotowire
Podkolzin scored a goal on three shots and added five hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks in Game 6.
The Oilers had plenty of flaws in this first-round series, but Podkolzin's play was a benefit. He had three goals, three assists, 12 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-5 rating over six contests against the Ducks. Podkolzin earned a 37-point regular season wihle adding 242 hits and 63 PIM over 82 appearances. He signed a three-year contract extension back in September, and that deal will kick in for 2026-27, cementing Podkolzin as a piece of the Oilers' middle six moving forward.

Oilers' Connor Ingram: Falls short in Game 6
Rotowire
Ingram allowed four goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks in Game 6.
Ingram kept the Oilers' season alive once but couldn't do it twice, failing to get the series back to Edmonton. The Ducks jumped out to a 3-1 lead after one period, and that deficit was too much to overcome for the Oilers. Ingram went 2-3 with 19 goals allowed on 153 shots (.876 save percentage) across five outings in this series, which will see the Oilers fail to make the second round for the first time since 2021. Ingram is eligible for unrestricted free agency this summer if the Oilers don't re-sign him.
