RELEASE: Oilers issue statement regarding..

The Edmonton Oilers announced this morning they will not match contract offer sheets presented by the St. Louis Blues to forward Dylan Holloway and defenceman Philip Broberg.

As per NHL compensation guidelines, the Oilers will receive the Blues’ second and third-round selections in the 2025 NHL Draft.

In a separate transaction with St. Louis, the Oilers have acquired the rights to defenceman Paul Fischer as well the Blues’ third-round selection in the 2028 NHL Draft in exchange for future considerations.

Fischer is an unsigned selection from the 2023 NHL Draft (138th overall) entering his second season with Notre Dame (NCAA).

The Edmonton Oilers have acquired defenceman Ty Emberson from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenceman Cody Ceci and Edmonton’s third-round selection in the 2025 NHL Draft.

The 24-year-old skated in 30 games last year during his first season with the Sharks, collecting one goal and nine assists for 10 points while averaging 18:33 time on ice per game.

The right-shot blueliner was originally drafted in the third round (73rd overall) by the Arizona Coyotes in 2018. The former University of Wisconsin Badger has also suited up for 132 AHL contests over three seasons with Tucson and Hartford, tallying 12 goals and 27 assists for 39 points.
