Grading Chiarelli: Oilers Summer Moves (Part I)
September 18th, 2017 To suggest Edmonton Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli is completely done his job for the summer might be premature. To assume he's finished making moves and player transactions for the season is nieve. But, many fans aren't 100 percent sold on the plays (or, as some would describe it, a lack thereof) made thus far to improve the...
Oilers Re-Sign Zack Kassian on 3-Year Deal
June 26th, 2017 The Edmonton Oilers took on Zack Kassian as a reclamation project in 2015 when they trade aging goaltender Ben Scrivens to Montreal for a Kassian, who had, at that point, almost worked himself out of the NHL.

Edmonton holds a 2-1 series lead on San Jose, and it wouldn't be that way without Cam Talbot and Zack Kassian. If we were to tell you before the playoffs started that Kassian would be tied for the Oilers scoring lead, and that...
Oilers Pass Initial Test
