The Edmonton Oilers have placed forward Evander Kane on long-term injured reserve due to recent surgeries, following a season where he scored 44 points in 77 games. His return timeline remains uncertain.

In response, the Oilers signed defenceman Travis Dermott to a one-year contract. Dermott, who previously played for the Arizona Coyotes, brings experience as he enters his eighth NHL season. The team also loaned two forwards to their AHL affiliate.
