The Edmonton Oilers are on the verge of elimination.<\/p>\n

After a controversial OT loss<\/a> to the Anaheim Ducks in Game 4, the Oilers are now sitting with a 3-1 deficit in their first-round series. If they can\u2019t find a way to win three straight games, something they\u2019ve done just twice this season, Edmonton will see its hopes of a third-straight Stanley Cup Final berth come to an end.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a disappointing series so far, and if they can\u2019t pull off the comeback, we could be seeing a lot of changes to the Oilers\u2019 roster over the summer. A total of 11 current players on Edmonton\u2019s roster are on expiring deals and will become either UFAs or RFAs this summer.<\/p>\n

Some of those players, due to injuries or demotions, may have already played in their final game in an Oilers jersey. Many are players that the Edmonton faithful have gotten accustomed to over the past few seasons.<\/p>\n

Here is a look at every current Oilers player that could be switching jerseys this summer\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Adam Henrique

Age: 36
2025-26 stats: 3 G, 12 A, 15 PTS, 65 GP<\/p>\n

Adam Henrique\u2019s days as a legitimate top-six NHL forward have come and gone.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s getting clear that age is starting to become an issue in Henrique\u2019s case, and his on-ice impact this season was next to nothing. Injuries became a big problem for him as well, and it\u2019s safe to say his time in Edmonton could be winding down as he becomes a UFA this summer.<\/p>\n

2. Jack Roslovic
\n\"Oilers-Roslovic<\/a><\/p>\n

Stephen Brashear\/Imagn Images<\/p>\n

Age: 29
2025-26 stats: 21 G, 15A, 36 PTS, 69 GP<\/p>\n

Jack Roslovic broke out for 21 goals with the Oilers, but has he priced himself out of Edmonton?<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that Roslovic was a valuable offensive piece for the Oilers, and there has been reported interest in re-signing him. Whether or not the two sides can find an agreement before free agency remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

3. Kasperi Kapanen
\n\"Oilers-Kapanen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stephen R. Sylvanie\/Imagn Images<\/p>\n

Age:\u00a029
2025-26 stats: 8 G, 9 A, 17 PTS, 41 GP<\/p>\n

Injuries limited his impact this season, but Kasperi Kapanen has blossomed into an excellent offensive threat with Leon Draisaitl in the playoffs. He\u2019s on a relatively cheap deal at the moment, so there may be some wiggle room to bring him back on an extension.<\/p>\n

Either that, or he could chase a bigger paycheque elsewhere.<\/p>\n

4. Calvin Pickard
\n\"Oilers-Pickard\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brad Rempel\/Imagn Images<\/p>\n

Age: 34
2025-26 stats: 5-6-2, .871 SV%<\/p>\n

The Calvin Pickard era seems to be coming to an end in the Alberta capital.<\/p>\n

The journeyman goaltender had a few great seasons with the Oilers, but he found himself demoted to the AHL this season after his numbers took a dive. At 34, it feels unlikely that Edmonton offers him another extension.<\/p>\n

5. Jason Dickinson<\/p>\n

Age:\u00a030
2025-26 stats: 7 G, 10 A, 17 PTS, 64 GP<\/p>\n

There is a legit fit for Jason Dickinson on Edmonton\u2019s third line, but he\u2019s run into injury trouble, and his offensive impacts aren\u2019t that great. There is certainly a possibility he returns, but he could also bolt elsewhere in free agency.<\/p>\n

6. Connor Murphy
\n\"Oilers-Murphy<\/a><\/p>\n

Perry Nelson\/Imagn Images<\/p>\n

Age:\u00a033
2025-26 stats: 5 G, 12 A, 17 PTS, 80 GP<\/p>\n

Like Dickinson, there is an obvious fit with Connor Murphy, and he\u2019s actually had some good results next to Darnell Nurse. It remains to be seen if Edmonton wants to stick with Murphy or shop for a higher-impact top-four defenceman instead.<\/p>\n

7. Connor Ingram
\n\"Oilers-Ingram<\/a><\/p>\n

Perry Nelson\/Imagn Images<\/p>\n

Age: 29
2025-26 stats: 16-10-3, .899 SV%<\/p>\n

The Oilers are already locked into two more seasons with Tristan Jarry, and bringing back Connor Ingram means next year\u2019s goaltending will be set. You\u2019d have to think GM Stan Bowman will be looking to make a splash in the goalie market, and Ingram doesn\u2019t feel like that kind of move right now.<\/p>\n

8. Colton Dach
\n\"Oilers-Dach\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Perry Nelson\/Imagn Images<\/p>\n

Age: 23
2025-26 stats: 5 G, 8 A, 13 PTS, 61 GP<\/p>\n

Colton Dach is an RFA this summer, so it\u2019s a good bet he\u2019ll be sticking around Edmonton.<\/p>\n

The local boy didn\u2019t have a great offensive season, but he\u2019s proven to be an effective energy player who isn\u2019t afraid to get physical or drop the gloves. He is by no means a lock for the lineup next season, but it\u2019s a good bet that he\u2019ll ink a cheap-ish extension.<\/p>\n

9. Spencer Stastney
\n\"Oilers-Stastney\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Perry Nelson\/Imagn Images<\/p>\n

Age: 26
2025-26 stats: 2 G, 8 A, 10 PTS, 66 GP<\/p>\n

Spencer Stastney is also set to become an RFA.<\/p>\n

He was initially acquired mid-season in a trade with the Nashville Predators, but he quickly fell out of the lineup as a regular. Instead, he\u2019s been serving as Edmonton\u2019s seventh defenceman on most nights.<\/p>\n

10. Curtis Lazar<\/p>\n

Age: 31
2025-26 stats: 4 G, 2 A, 6 PTS, 45 GP<\/p>\n

Curtis Lazar came to the Oilers and did exactly what was asked of him.<\/p>\n

He was a fourth-line guy who came in, put in the minutes, and gave Edmonton nothing more and nothing less than what was expected. In many ways, that\u2019s all that Lazar needed to do.<\/p>\n

11. Max Jones
\n\"oilers-jones\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Perry Nelson\/Imagn Images<\/p>\n

Age: 28
2025-26 stats: 3 G, 2 A, 5 PTS, 21 GP<\/p>\n

Max Jones appeared in just 21 games with Edmonton this season, but provided a lot of energy in that short time. It\u2019d be easy to ink him to a cheap extension, but it\u2019s also likely that they just let him walk into free agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Edmonton Oilers are on the verge of elimination.
