Potential #Oilers target:
Claude Giroux can play C or W & is still a highly skilled player who will score 50+ points.
He is an elite faceoff specialist;

2025-26: 63.1% (504/799) in 82GP One of the best % in NHL history.

2024-25: 61.5% (600/976) in 81GP, league leader.

@Farm_Boy7777 Would take much more for that to happen

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

He’s been cooking up a storm but what is the one move that Bowman can make tomorrow to cap off his reshaped #Oilers roster?

@oilerdog2 I want..

What do you think of Bowman’s work today? #Oilers

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

Curious why the challenge on the left did not even result in a yellow card or warrant a VAR check.

[Arielipillo @arielipillo]

NO CARD ❌ RED CARD 🟥

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

@originalkooch Not really. They can keep 3 all season if they want. Just one less roster spot for a D or a F.

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

Not much risk for the #Oilers on this deal with a goalie that has a history of injury issues. The Oilers may run with 3 goalies this season.

[PuckPedia @PuckPedia]

@originalkooch You can keep 3 on the roster. You only waive if you send one to the Condors.

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

@originalkooch You keep all 3 on the roster. Anderson is not playing many games.

Summary of Stan Bowman dropping signings after the Nurse trade. #Oilers

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

I like the depth the #Oilers are adding to every position. I’m not a huge Andersen fan but he provides another option.

[Kevin Weekes @KevinWeekes]

**Breaking News ** 🚨 📰
Per sources, I’m told Stanley Cup Champ G Andersen agreed to a 1 Yr Contract with the @EdmontonOilers . #HockeyX

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

Max Jones was an effective 4th line player when he was called up. Depth is a good thing and he may have opened a door for a bigger opportunity with the new coaching staff.

[Edmonton Oilers @EdmontonOilers]

MAX POWER 🔋

The #Oilers have re-signed forward Max Jones to a one-year contract with an AAV of $850,000.

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

What century?

[Paul Bissonnette @BizNasty2point0]

I hate to say it but the Leafs are winning the cup.

What do you think of Bowman’s work today? #Oilers

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

Sign Giroux & a vet goalie and the #Oilers are in decent shape. Leaving some cap room to accumulate to be able to manoeuvre for a forward via trade at the deadline.

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

Mathieu Joseph is a depth forward known for his speed, tenacity, & defensive acumen. On the PK his pressure of opposing power plays often leads to dangerous SH chances.

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Mathieu Joseph, 1 x $1M

[Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal]

Good signing for the #Oilers
If Kapanen can stay healthy, his top game is very good.

[Chris Johnston @reporterchris]

Kasperi Kapanen signs a one-year extension with the #oilers worth $2.6M.
