This is it. This is the team the Oilers are going to war with. With the drama of the deadline now passed, will we see the “real” Edmonton Oilers who went all the way to Game 7 last spring? That and more in this edition

The Athletic has live coverage of the 2025 NHL trade deadline. Edmonton Oilers GM Stan Bowman filled some key areas of need by acquiring Jake Walman to bolster the back end, plus Trent Frederic and Max Jones for some speed and muscle up front. The Oilers are better now than they were at the start of the week.

The Edmonton Oilers are a team that is all out of sorts as of late, though they had a chance to work out some roster kinks and improve their group heading into the trade deadline.

Stars: Rantanen wore No. 96 after being traded to the Stars by Carolina at Friday’s trade deadline and then signing an eight-year deal worth $96 million. He picked up an assist on the Stars’ opening goal by Johnston and then scored his 28th on a third-period power play.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist for the Edmonton Oilers in a 5-4 win against the visiting Dallas Stars on Saturday night.

The NHL trade deadline is behind us, and now it’s full steam ahead toward the postseason. We started the road to the playoffs with a bang as the Dallas Stars (41-20-2) battled the Edmonton Oilers (37-22-4) in a Western Conference Final rematch.
