Summary
Paul Fischer, the Oilers’ top defenseman prospect at just 21, is a rising star with elite defensive instincts and growing offensive upside. Drafted by St. Louis in 2023, he was traded to Edmonton for future assets and is now showing his modern, physical game—shutting down rushes proactively while also contributing offensively with smart passes and rush plays. Projected as a top-five defenseman in the NHL, Fischer still needs work on skating and puck retrieval, but his foundation is strong. Unsigned and still playing college hockey, the Oilers must act before his rights expire in June 2027—he’s a key piece for their future.
