Edmonton has signed Frederik Andersen to a one-year contract worth $2.8 million AAV.

After spending the past five seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes, helping them win a Stanley Cup in 2025-26, Andersen will join his fourth team, the Edmonton Oilers. The 36-year-old veteran goalie is one of the winningest goalies in modern history, with a consistent 2.59 GAA and .913 SV% over 552 career games (324-149-58). That said, he has battled injuries in recent years and is coming off the worst season of his career, posting a 3.05 GAA and .874 SV% in 35 games (16-14-5).

Edmonton has signed Max Jones to a one-year, $850,000 AAV contract.

Jones, the 24th-overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, has split time between the NHL and AHL in recent seasons, but impressed with the Oilers in 2025-26, earning a one-year contract extension. The 28-year-old forward scored five points (3G / 2A) last season in 21 games with the Oilers.

Edmonton has signed Mathieu Joseph to a one-year, $1 million contract.

Joseph has bounced between teams in recent years and has signed a one-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers, his fifth team in the last five years. The 28-year-old forward scored 11 points (2G / 9A) last season in 51 games split between the St. Louis Blues and Los Angeles Kings.

Edmonton has signed Kasperi Kapanen to a one-year, $2.6 million contract extension.

Kapanen is nearly a decade removed from a promising 44-point season (20G / 24A) with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2018-19 as a 22-year-old. That production is no longer expected from the 30-year-old forward, but he settled into a solid middle-six role last season for the Oilers, earning himself a one-year contract extension. Kapanen scored 17 points (8G / 9A) in 41 games last season.

Edmonton has signed Ryan Shea to a four-year contract worth $4 million AAV ($20M total).

Heading into the 2025-26 season, Shea had only played 70 career NHL games, but became a full-time player with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 29-year-old defenseman played 80 games last season, scoring an impressive 35 points (6G / 29A).

Edmonton has acquired Zack Sharp and Shakir Mukhamadullin from San Jose for Darnell Nurse.

Sharp was a fourth-round pick of the San Jose Sharks in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old defenseman has yet to make his professional debut and is coming off a 19-point season (5G / 14A) in 37 games with Western Michigan University (NCHC).

Mukhamadullin was drafted 20th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He played a career-high 50 games last season with the Sharks, recording 12 points (5G / 7A) and a -3 plus/minus. He is currently an RFA and is coming off a one-year, $1.0 million contract.

Edmonton has acquired Devon Levi and a 2028 7th round pick from Buffalo for a 2028 3rd round pick.

Levi was once considered the goalie of the future with the Buffalo Sabres, but he failed to make that leap, ultimately spending most of the past two seasons in the AHL. The 24-year-old goalie posted a 2.83 GAA and .904 SV% last season in 52 games (23-20-9) with the Rochester Americans.

Devon Levi
5-year, $20,500,000 contract with the Edmonton Oilers. NMC Years 1-3 (through June 15, 2029), then 16 team trade list through term. Expires 2031 (UFA).
