Edmonton Oilers executive Stan Bowman is recalling the moment in this Stanley Cup Playoffs where his team came alive.

Woodcroft has a long and successful resume that would make any organization covet his services. He spent three years as a video coach for the Detroit Red Wings under Mike Babcock. He was promoted to Assistant Coach under Todd McLellan while with the San Jose Sharks.

In an interview with Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic, Edmonton Oilers General Manager Stan Bowman, spoke highly of the Oilers’ two defensive additions throughout the regular season, John Klingberg and Jake Walman.

Beau Akey is a known prospect to Oilers fans. He missed most of last season due to injury, and didn’t completely establish himself as a top-flight offensive defender in 2024-25. He’s a speedy player, a right-handed defender, has skill and should see major minutes in the AHL with the Bakersfield Condors next season.

Oilers forward Zach Hyman was described as a "wrecking ball" by Connor McDavid, and he's just 17 hits away from making NHL playoff history.

NHL insider Luke Fox recently made some concerning statements on the future of Connor McDavid, stating that he is not convinced he will re-sign in Edmonton.
