## Resource

The Oilers pulled off a savvy, low-risk free agency overhaul, adding five players and two via trade for under $10 million — no flashy names, just smart depth. The big move? Trading Darnell Nurse to San Jose for prospect Mukhamadullin and Zach Sharp, freeing up cap space to lock in Ryan Shea on a five-year deal to anchor the blue line. Kasperi Kapanen returns on a one-year deal, ready to slot into the top nine, while Mathieu Joseph and Max Jones add forward depth. Goalie Freddie Andersen joins with performance incentives, and Devon Levi — inconsistent but young — rounds out a three-goalie rotation with Tristan Jarry. The question now: can this strategic, cap-flexible rebuild actually make them better — especially with a new coach pushing for defensive consistency?
