Edmonton Oilers Prepare for the NHL Draft

Salary Cap and Player Contracts

As the 2023 NHL Draft approaches, the Edmonton Oilers are carefully considering their salary cap and player contracts. The team has been busy over the past few months, signing several key players to new deals and trading away others in an effort to create more cap space. Heading into the draft, the Oilers have just over $10 million in cap space, which gives them some flexibility but also limits their options somewhat.

They also have a number of promising prospects in their system, including Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Evan Bouchard.
