The 2026 Milan Olympics are just weeks away and despite the issues surrounding the ice surface, there is much excitement surrounding the games.
It is the first time that NHL players will participate since the 2014 Sochi games and the first chance to see true “best-on-best” hockey since Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, Cale Makar, and more have entered the league.
The Edmonton Oilers are poised to send a number of players to the games with a few players having an outside chance as well.
Both McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are locks for Canada and Germany respectively but there are a few players on the Oilers and in the system that have true chances to varying degrees.
