Welcome to Oilersnation’s annual player review series, where we dive into the Edmonton Oilers season player by player. We’ll look back at the season that was, what kind of impact each player had, and what we could see from them next season. You can read about the analytics behind my analysis here.

The context

As judgment day approached on the duel offer sheets signed by Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg, in August of 2024, Stan Bowman acquired Ty Emberson from the San Jose Sharks. Rather than match the expensive offer sheet for the left-handed Broberg, the organization brought in a cheaper right-shot defenceman.

“He’s got a really nice skill set, and I think the other thing I like about him is that he’s in that age range. He’s a 24-year-old, and we haven’t seen his best days yet. I think he’s coming into his own,” said Bowman.
