Ekholm will miss the start of training camp due to a hip flexor injury, per Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com.
Ekholm had nine goals and 32 points in 78 contests between Nashville and Edmonton last season. When he's healthy, Ekholm is likely to serve on the second pairing while seeing time with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Oilers' Sam Gagner: Won't play in preseason games
Gagner (hip) won't play in preseason games and will be evaluated in October, Jim Matheson of The Edmonton Journal reports.
Gagner is evidently still recovering from hip surgery he underwent in the offseason. He will practice with the Oilers, but it appears there's a good chance he'll play his first games of the season with AHL Bakersfield before being an option for the NHL club.

Oilers' Adam Erne: Signs professional tryout
Erne inked a professional tryout agreement with Edmonton on Tuesday.

Oilers' Sam Gagner: Agrees to professional tryout
Gagner (hip) agreed to a professional tryout agreement with Edmonton on Monday.
Gagner produced eight goals, 14 points and 78 shots on net in 48 appearances with Winnipeg during the 2022-23 campaign. Assuming he has recovered from the hip surgery that ended his season in March, the 34-year-old will compete for a fourth-line role with the Oilers during training camp.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Re-signs with Oilers
Bouchard inked a two-year, $7.8 million contract with Edmonton on Thursday.
Bouchard recorded eight goals, 40 points, 156 shots, 95 hits and 77 blocks in 82 contests last season. It was the second straight campaign in which he's reached the 40-point milestone, which makes the 23-year-old defenseman's $3.9 million cap hit look like great value for Edmonton, but the tradeoff is that it's a short-term deal. If Bouchard continues to develop like he has, then he'll be in line for a massive raise at the end of this contract.

Oilers' Ryan McLeod: Inks two-year contract
McLeod agreed to a two-year, $4.2 million contract with the Oilers on Tuesday, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.
McLeod and the Oilers were still on the docket for arbitration before reaching the agreement. This new deal rewards McLeod with a sizable raise, though his role is unlikely to change from that of a middle-six center. He'll likely spend most of his time on the third line, though he occasionally worked on the second line in 2022-23. McLeod had 23 points in 57 contests last season.

Oilers' Raphael Lavoie: Accepts qualifying offer
Lavoie signed a one-year, two-way deal with Edmonton on Friday, per PuckPedia.
Lavoie tallied 25 goals and 45 points in 61 AHL contests last season. The 22-year-old will likely spend most, if not all of his time in the minors in 2023-24.

Oilers' Olivier Rodrigue: Inks two-way deal with Edmonton
Rodrigue signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Oilers on Tuesday.
Rodrigue wrapped up his entry-level deal while posting a 14-14-1 record, a 2.77 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 29 games with AHL Bakersfield last season. He'll remain with the Oilers' organization for now, though it's likely he again spends the bulk of 2023-24 in the minors.

Oilers' Noel Hoefenmayer: Signs entry-level contract
Hoefenmayer signed a one-year, entry-level contract with Edmonton on Saturday.
Hoefenmayer had 11 goals, 38 points and 114 PIM in 65 games with AHL Toronto during the 2022-23 season. The 24-year-old defender is likely to spend most of the 2023-24 campaign in the minors.

Oilers' Benjamin Gleason: Signing with Edmonton
Gleason signed a two-year contract with the Oilers on Saturday, per PuckPedia.
The first year of the deal is a two-way contract prior to becoming a one-way pact in 2024-25. Gleason hasn't played in the NHL since 2018, when he logged an assist in four games with Dallas. The 25-year-old blueliner figures to spend most of the season in the AHL, where he'll serve as a depth option for the Oilers.

Oilers' Drake Caggiula: Signs two-year contract
Caggiula inked a two-year, two-way contract with Edmonton on Saturday, per TSN.
Caggiula had 22 goals and 53 points in 65 contests with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2022-23. The 29-year-old forward has played in 282 career NHL games, recording 46 goals and 91 points over that span. He should get a look during training camp, but he'll probably end up starting the season in the minors.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Signing with Edmonton
Brown (knee) signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Oilers on Saturday, per Darren Dreger of TSN.
Brown played just four games with Washington last season before tearing his ACL in October. The 29-year-old winger has some modest offensive upside, posting 35-plus points in each of his previous three seasons in Ottawa. If healthy, Brown should be in the mix for a middle-six role with Edmonton this year.

Oilers' Lane Pederson: Handed two-year deal
Pederson (upper body) penned a two-year, $1.55 million contract with Edmonton on Saturday, PuckPedia reports.
Pederson spent the last eight games of the season on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. In total, the 25-year-old center managed just 27 games at the NHL level during the 2022-23 campaign. In those outings, Pederson garnered three goals and three assists. Even with a one-way deal in hand, Pederson could find himself playing in the minors at some point this upcoming season.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Agrees to one-year deal
Janmark signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Edmonton on Friday, per Ryan Rishaug of TSN.
Janmark, who was poised to become an unrestricted free agent Saturday, is taking a pay cut compared to his 2022-23 salary of $1.25 million. He had 10 goals and 25 points in 66 contests last season. The 30-year-old forward is projected to serve in a bottom-six role in 2023-24.

Oilers' Beau Akey: Links up with Edmonton in Round 2
Akey was selected 56th overall by the Oilers in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft on Thursday.
Akey had a big offensive season for OHL Barrie (11G, 47P in 66GP) in 2022-23 and it would have been much, much bigger had Brandt Clarke not returned to the club following the World Juniors to steal his spot on the top power-play unit. Akey is calm and composed with the puck and makes confident plays coming out of his own zone. He also shoots it well enough to beat opposing goaltenders consistently with the man advantage. Akey can hold his own defensively, but he doesn't project as the type of player to log significant minutes on the penalty kill at the NHL level. With Clarke no longer junior eligible, Akey has a real chance to be among the OHL leaders in defensemen scoring in 2023-24.

Oilers' Noah Philp: Moving on from hockey
Philp doesn't plan on continuing his hockey career, Oilers GM Ken Holland told Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic on Wednesday.
Philp had 19 goals and 37 points in 70 AHL contests in 2022-23. The 24-year-old is eligible to become a restricted free agent this summer and was offered a two-year contract, but for personal reasons he doesn't plan on continuing to play hockey. The Oilers can still present Philp with a qualifying offer so that they'll maintain his NHL rights in the event he changes his mind.
