What happened: Spencer Stastney signed a one-year contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers. The deal carries a $1.525 million average annual value for the 2026-27 season.
Why it matters: The extension keeps a depth defenceman in Edmonton for another season. Stastney will have an opportunity to compete for a regular role during training camp.
By the numbers: Stastney has 19 points on four goals and 15 assists across 117 NHL regular-season games. He has also appeared in three playoff games.
What to watch: Stastney's place in Edmonton's defensive rotation will become clearer during training camp and the preseason.
