The Oilers have been without a top 15 pick at the NHL Draft since 2020 but GM Stan Bowman has made serious moves to improve their prospect pool
The Edmonton Oilers hired Stan Bowman to be their new general manager on July 24, 2024 after the contract of their former GM Ken Holland expired the month prior. Holland came to the club with experience as a high end executive, largely being credited with building and maintaining the dominance of the Detroit Red Wings throughout the 2000's and 2010's.
