Key additions: Andrew Mangiapane, Isaac Howard, Curtis Lazar, Riley Stillman

There will be some new names and faces for Edmonton Oilers fans to learn once the 2025-26 season gets underway.

The four newest players to join the Edmonton Oilers have their numbers for the 2025-26 season. For fans looking to support any one of the four players, they now know what to purchase as they customize their jerseys.

This in from Oilers Now host and team insider Bob Stauffer, his take on what incoming forward Isaac Howard — voted the Hobey Baker Award winner as the best player in U.S. college hockey last season —

NHL insider Bob Stauffer revealed that the Oilers' biggest wildcard in order to have success next season is going to be newly signed David Tomasek. Oilers insider Bob Stauffer has revealed his projected lineup for next season after the Oilers completed the Isaac Howard trade from the Tampa Bay Lightning.

When it comes to rookie right wingers, the Oilers crop in 1980-81 ranks with the all-time best for an NHL team. Jari Kurri (75 games, 32-43-75) and Glenn Anderson (58 games, 30-23-53) were instant plug-and-play impact wingers and would go on to Hall of Fame careers.

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman revealed that he no longer believes the Oilers should bring in a new backup, as Calvin Pickard can do well under the new goalie coach.

Gone are Evander Kane, Viktor Arvidsson and Jeff Skinner, three wingers who got time in the top nine and had some success, even if limited. Also out are wingers Corey Perry and Connor Brown, two impactful veterans who played up and down the lineup. John Klingberg, one of the regular eight defencemen, has moved on, too.
