Edmonton Oilers News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Oilers’ pursuit of Bruce Cassidy hit a snag when Vegas slapped down a no-go — and then things got spicy when Vegas GM Kelly McCrimmon blamed Edmonton for leaking the story, implying Vegas was just reacting. Meanwhile, the Oilers fired their own coach but stayed silent on the Cassidy drama, looking weak in the process. Vegas, meanwhile, seems happy to pay Cassidy and throw shade, while Edmonton sits back hoping for a change of heart — but they’re running out of time and options, with Berube and Laviolette as the only real names on the table.

Maxim Berezkin, the Edmonton Oilers’ prized KHL prospect, is staying put — signing a two-year extension with Lokomotiv after winning his second Gagarin Cup. Just months ago, NHL insiders and his agent expected him to jump to North America, but now he’s doubling down on Russia, where he’s proven his clutch ability with a Game 7 OT winner and solid playoff production. At 6’4”, 212 lbs, and a skilled puck-handler, Berezkin remains a top target for the Oilers — even if he’s choosing to keep his talents close to home for now.

The Oilers are circling “distressed asset” forwards to upgrade their top-six without sacrificing future assets—Jordan Kyrou’s scoring upside, Jake DeBrusk’s power-play prowess, and Kent Johnson’s breakout potential are top contenders, with Johnson offering the most attainable gamble.

Evan Bouchard took a brutal hit in Canada’s World Championship quarter-final against the U.S., forcing him to leave the game and raising immediate concern — but thankfully, he’s reportedly recovering well. The American player who delivered the hit was ejected, and Bouchard needed help off the ice. GM Kyle Dubas and his agent are closely monitoring his progress, with no official return timeline yet — though with training camp still months away, a comeback seems likely. Bouchard was having a standout tournament and followed up a career year with the Oilers, where he nearly averaged a point per game. Fans are holding their breath — and their ears — for updates.

Vegas GM Kelly McCrimmon blames the Edmonton Oilers for turning the Bruce Cassidy coaching drama into a firestorm, saying their alleged leak forced the issue into the spotlight when Vegas wanted to handle it privately. While Oilers and LA Kings have formally requested interviews with Cassidy — who’s still under contract with Vegas for $4.5M next season — the Golden Knights hold the final say, blocking other teams from talking to him. Cassidy himself says he feels trapped in contractual limbo, while the NHL Coaches’ Association argues it’s unusual to restrict a coach’s job search, especially since he’s no longer actively coaching. Vegas’ stance, driven by competitive concerns and past missteps like letting Pete DeBoer leave for Dallas, aims to protect their playoff momentum — even as the Western Conference braces for a seismic coaching shakeup.

Bruce Cassidy, the architect of Vegas’ lone Stanley Cup, is stuck by a non-compete clause after being fired — but he’s already got interest from the Oilers and Kings, and even hinted at a Canadian move. The NHL Coaches’ Association calls his restricted access unprecedented, especially since no rival team would gain an edge by hiring him now. With his contract ending next season, Vegas holds the power to let him go — and many believe it’s the right move, letting a proven winner chase his next big opportunity.
