Saad has been relegated to a bottom-six role in St. Louis, having been passed on the depth chart by former Oilers forward Dylan Holloway. He is coming off a 26-goal campaign with the Blues last season, and it still looks like he has the wheels to be an NHL player.

Leon Draisaitl on Connor McDavid’s wing, Adam Henrique up to second line as Oilers shuffle forwardsConnor McDavid is back and the blender is out. Ahead of Monday’s game against the Seattle Kraken, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch made a few changes to his team’s forward lines.
How old is too old? As Brandon Saad leaves St. Louis, the team now being run by his old GM from Chicago — Stan Bowman — is musing about whether he’d be a smart add. Mark Spector looks at whether the Oilers should add the 32-year-old winger.
The Edmonton Oilers have Connor McDavid back after a three-game suspension and, with that, came some pretty major line changes.
Draisaitl leads the league with 35 goals, while his 75 points on the year have him closing in on the only player with more, Nathan Mackinnon of the Colorado Avalanche (77). The fact he’s not even considered the Oilers’ best player is icing on Edmonton’s cake.

Getting to know defenceman John Klingberg ahead of his debut with the Oilers
For the first time in well over a year, John Klingberg is suiting up in an NHL game. The former All-Star defenceman will make his Oilers debut playing alongside Darnell Nurse on the team’s second pairing when Edmonton hosts the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
He also endured a few rocky seasons with the Sabres that ended in him being bought out. In his first year with the Edmonton Oilers, he’s gone from a high-profile free-agent signee to someone struggling to get into the lineup.
Speaking on Daily Faceoff ( h/t Oilers Nation on X) on Sunday, Yaremchuk argued the Oilers should prioritize acquiring Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic instead of pursuing Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Marcus Pettersson, who has been frequently linked to Edmonton.
Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist, Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-2.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored two goals to help the Edmonton Oilers beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2. Edmonton improved to 21-6-1 in its last 28 games.
