| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Ryan Nugent-Hopkins  ActiveRyan Nugent-Hopkins had an assist in the Oilers' 3-2 win on Wednesday. Nugent-Hopkins has recorded at least a point in three of his last four games. He has 18 goals and 53 points in 75 contests in 2013-14. Apr 3 |
| 2 | Boyd Gordon ActiveBoyd Gordon is dealing with a shoulder injury. Gordon will miss what little is left of the 2013-14 campaign. He has eight goals and 21 points in 74 games this season. Apr 9 |
| 3 | Anton Lander ActiveThe Edmonton Oilers are looking for help on the third line and GM Craig MacTavish thinks that Anton Lander and/or Mark Arcobello are capable of doing the job. MacTavish is looking for the Oilers to go with three scoring lines and while he is happy with the top line of Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle, as well as the second unit with David Perron, Sam Gagner and likely whoever they select at three this year (Sam Bennett or Sam Reinhart as defenseman Aaron Ekblad will probably be gone at this point), they need someone to play with Nail Yakupov. Lander had only one assist in 27 games with the Oilers in 2013-14 but did manage 18 goals and 52 points in 46 AHL games. Jun 23 |
| 4 | Will Acton ActiveThe Edmonton Oilers have promoted Will Acton. Acton has two goals and three points in 23 games with Edmonton in 2013-14. The 26-year-old forward doesn't have much offensive upside at the NHL level. Apr 1 |
| 5 | Mark Arcobello ActiveMark Arcobello has agreed to a one-year contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers. The big news is that it's a one-way deal, which is a first for Arcobello. He has four goals and 18 points in 41 games this season. Apr 1 |
| 6 | Matt Hendricks ActiveMatt Hendricks returned to action Saturday night against the Flames. He was sidelined for Thursday's game after blocking a Shea Weber shot. Hendricks was minus two in the Oilers' one-sided 8-1 loss to Calgary in 13:29 of playing time. We don't imagine Hendricks plays a big role on your fantasy squad. Mar 23 |
| 7 | Leon Draisaitl ActiveLeon Draisaitl has decided to spend the summer in Edmonton so that he can better prepare for training camp. Draisaitl isn't a lock to make the Oilers' opening game roster, but he's working hard to avoid getting cut. He's worth keeping an eye on because there's a chance that he'll serve as a top-six forward if he makes the squad. He has a ton of offensive upside and has been compared favorably to Anze Kopitar. Jul 21 |
| LW | 1 | Taylor Hall ActiveEdmonton Oilers head amateur scout Stu MacGregor still has plenty of faith in the team's young core. He said players the team relies on are just "21, 22, 23 years old, so some of those players are still learning the NHL." Taylor Hall is only 22, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is 21 and Nail Yakupov is 20. Jordan Eberle is just slightly older at 24 years of age. "These guys have been able to gain that experience early in their career and hopefully that will be an advantage in the end," MacGregor said. "It's been challenging for them and us to be able to try and produce these players slightly earlier than most." The Oilers have another high draft pick, at third overall, in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft and it's believed that they are eyeing German forward Leon Draisaitl. Jun 21 |
| 2 | David Perron ActiveDavid Perron won't participate in the World Hockey Championship because of a hip injury. He apparently aggravated it in training. Perron notched 28 goals and 57 points in 78 games this past campaign with the Oilers. He'll use the off-season to recover. May 5 |
| 3 | Benoit Pouliot ActiveBenoit Pouliot sees himself as a top-nine forward and will probably end up on the Oilers' third line. Pouliot agreed to a five-year, $20 million contract with Edmonton over the summer. He played for the Rangers last season and had 10 playoff points in their run to the Stanley Cup Final. Glen Sather, who has been serving as the Rangers' general manager, was previously the Oilers GM/coach during their glory years. "Glen called, left a message and said 'good luck, you'll enjoy it.' He said it was a good place to be. Coming from Glen, that was big. He's a great man and treated me very well," Pouliot said. Jul 23 |
| 4 | Luke Gazdic ActiveThe Edmonton Oilers have signed Luke Gazdic to a two-year contract. Gazdic had four points and 127 penalty minutes in 67 games before a shoulder injury ended his campaign. There's a good chance he'll start the 2014-15 campaign as a member of the Oilers' fourth line. Jul 1 |
| RW | 1 | Jordan Eberle ActiveJordan Eberle had a goal and an assist in Edmonton's 4-2 win over Anaheim on Sunday. That extends Eberle's point streak to four games. He has 27 goals and 64 points in 77 contests in 2013-14. Apr 7 |
| 2 | Teddy Purcell ActiveRight winger Teddy Purcell said he got "yelled at a lot" for not taking more shots with the Tampa Bay Lightning last season. He recorded 156 shots in 80 games last season. In 400 career NHL games, he has taken 776 shots. His new teammate in Edmonton, Taylor Hall, has taken 797 shots in only 246 games. But Purcell said it's different with the Oilers than it was with Tampa Bay. "There are lots of guys here who can make plays, so I’ll shoot more," he said. Purcell will be either the second- or third-line right-winger, depending on where Nail Yakupov is slotted. "I spoke to Dallas (coach Eakins) the day I got traded, and from what he says, he’ll give me lots of opportunities," said Purcell, who was also on the power play in Tampa. Purcell had a breakout year in 2011-12 when he managed 24 goals and 65 points but slumped last season with only 12 goals and 42 points. Jul 27 |
| 3 | Nail Yakupov ActiveEdmonton coach Dallas Eakins insisted again this week that there isn't a rift between him and 2012 first overall pick Nail Yakupov. "My relationship with Nail is a great one," Eakins told The Fan 590 on Monday. "That's why I kind of chuckle with the way it gets drawn out in the media. You take a kid out of the lineup and suddenly there's a big fight going on. Well, there's no fight. Nail understood what was going on." Yakupov was a health scratch during his sophomore campaign, mostly due to his defensive struggles. His production also slipped to 11 goals and 24 points after he recorded 17 goals and 31 points during the lockout-shortened season. Eakins said, "I'm very hopeful and fairly confident that he's gonna have a great rebound year." May 26 |
| 4 | Steve Pinizzotto ActiveSteve Pinizzotto has signed a one-year contract with Edmonton. He appeared in six games with the Oilers in 2013-14. He mostly spent the campaign in the AHL, where he split 51 matches between San Antonio and Oklahoma City. Jun 12 |
| 5 | Jesse Joensuu ActiveJesse Joensuu has suffered a high ankle sprain. Joensuu is expected to miss at least four weeks, so the odds of him returning this season are slim. He has five points and 16 penalty minutes in 42 games in 2013-14. Mar 18 |
| D | 1 | Justin Schultz ActiveJustin Schultz has great offensive potential, but he may have to settle for a supporting role if his defensive play doesn't improve. He didn't have the benefit of many offensive zone starts at five-on-five situations, but a minus-22 rating is a sign for concern after he had a minus-17 rating during the lockout-shortened season. Schultz registered 11 goals and 33 points in 74 games this past year. He recorded 12 points with the man advantage and will be looking to improve his overall game in 2014-15. May 20 |
| 2 | Andrew Ference ActiveAndrew Ference has been named as the winner of the King Clancy Memorial Trophy. The King Clancy Memorial Trophy rewards leadership and humanitarian contributions. Ference was involved in a lot of charitable projects over the 2013-14 campaign, including some of his own like the Hope Mission Shelter, which provides overnight shelter and meals for the homeless or those in danger of becoming homeless in Edmonton. He's also worked on behalf of the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and serves as a representative for You Can Play. Jun 18 |
| 3 | Jeff Petry ActiveJeff Petry has agreed to a one-year, $3.1 million contract for the 2014-15 campaign. Petry is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, so he will be the subject of trade rumors if the Oilers once again struggle to make the playoffs. He had 17 points and 42 penalty minutes in 80 games last season. Jul 7 |
| 4 | Keith Aulie ActiveThe Edmonton Oilers have signed Keith Aulie to a one-year deal. Aulie had an assist in 15 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning last season. He's just 25 years old, but we doubt he'll ever be much more than a third-pairing defenseman. Jul 1 |
| 5 | Mark Fraser ActiveMark Fraser scored a goal in Edmonton's 6-2 win against Thursday. Fraser also accumulated 14 penalty minutes. He has a goal, two points, and 54 penalty minutes in 29 games this season. Mar 14 |
| 6 | Mark Fayne ActiveDefensive defenseman Mark Fayne is excited that he has jumped from the New Jersey Devils to Edmonton because the Oilers are in the West and the West features bigger forwards. "The tougher thing for me is playing against the smaller, fast guys, but I’m actually looking forward to the West," Fayne said. "My style and build (6-foot-3, 215 pounds) might be better against the bigger guys." He was referring to West forwards such as Anze Kopitar, Ryan Getzlaf, Joe Thornton, David Backes and Jonathan Toews. Fayne had 11 points with the Devils last season. Jul 26 |
| 7 | Martin Marincin ActiveMartin Marincin's strong rookie campaign is looking like one of the silver linings in Edmonton's disappointing season. The Oilers have trusted Marincin with an average of 18:35 minutes per game and he leads the worst team in the Western Conference with a plus-two rating. He hasn't done much offensively and consequently isn't worth keeping an eye on in standard leagues, but he might prove to be a reliable defenseman with the Oilers for years to come. Mar 27 |
| G | 1 | Ben Scrivens ActiveBen Scrivens will be in goal for Canada's quarterfinal match against Finland on Thursday. He shared the crease with James Reimer during the preliminary round and won all three of his starts. Scrivens posted a 1.31 goals-against average and a .954 save percentage during his previous outings, while Reimer recorded a 2.20 GAA and a .911 save percentage. May 22 |
| 2 | Viktor Fasth ActiveViktor Fasth stopped 45 of 48 shots in Edmonton's 3-0 loss to Los Angeles Thursday evening. Fasth played a good game, but the Oilers failed to score. Fasth now has a 3-3-1 record with a 2.73 goals-against average and .914 save percentage with the Oilers. Apr 11 |
