How Edmonton Oilers’ Front Office Decisions Secretly Undermined Their Championship Hopes
Despite losing in six games, the series wasn’t that close, as the Oilers were outmatched by the Florida Panthers once again. The depth the Oilers once had was not there to match the Panthers, so more changes were coming in Bowman’s first full off-season as GM. In the previous off-season, he had to deal with the Leon Draisaitl extension; during the 2025 offseason, he had to deal with the McDavid extension.

McDavid put Bowman and company on the clock as he only signed a two-year extension kicking in on July 1. It was signed right before the season. However, the damage was done to the roster as Viktor Arvidsson was traded to Boston for cap relief. Connor Brown signed in New Jersey. Evander Kane was traded to Vancouver for cap relief. Corey Perry signed in Los Angeles.
