The National Hockey League’s regular season ends in less than a month, and who knows how long the Edmonton Oilers will be playing extra hockey.

Right now, it’s not looking good for the back-to-back Western Conference champions. Leon Draisaitl is out for the regular season and his status for the start of the playoffs is up in the air. That is if the Oilers even make the playoffs, as they have a four-point lead over the Los Angeles Kings, who have a game in hand.

Captain Connor McDavid had some interesting quotes following Saturday’s 5-2 defeat to the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Oilers just can’t seem to get anything going. Assuming they make the playoffs, it seems like they may not be in it for long, which will force the Oilers to make some changes in the off-season.

Who knows what those changes will be, but there are a handful of players who are set to become unrestricted free agents come July 1, and in this article, we’ll take a look at whether the Oilers should re-sign them.

Jack Roslovic

Jack Roslovic remained a free agent until the start of the season before the Oilers swooped in to sign him to a one-year deal worth $1.5 million. The 25th overall pick in the 2015 draft has been streaky this season, but has 17 goals and 29 points in 58 games this season, which is on pace for 24 goals and 41 points over an 82-game season.

He’s missed some time due to injury this season, so 82 games is out of the question, but his point-per-game pace is one of the best in his career, as 24 goals would be the best mark of his career.

Roslovic isn’t a perfect player by any means, but he’s shown adaptability playing up and down the lineup, providing middle-six scoring since joining the team. The Oilers should definitely look to bring him back, and Bob Stauffer reported in January that there could be a four-year term on his extension.

Jason Dickinson

The Oilers sent a protected 2027 first and Andrew Mangiapane to the Chicago Blackhawks for Jason Dickinson ahead of the 2026 trade deadline. They don’t need him to be like he was in 2023-24 when he scored 22 goals and 35 points, but they need him to be better than what he’s shown since joining the........
