Over a month into the 2026 offseason and the Edmonton Oilers appear to be done upgrading their roster, at least for now. B) They are not willing to spend the assets or cap space on the players that are available. As of right now, the Oilers appear likely to enter the 2026-27 regular season with approximately $4.725 million in cap space, according to puckpedia. However, they should use the cap space they do have wisely and should not let it burn a hole in their pocket because if they are smart, they could enter the trade deadline with a lot. Long story short, the Oilers who are projected to enter the season with roughly $4.725 million in cap space, could have nearly $22 million in cap space by the time the 2027 NHL trade deadline rolls around.
