Which picks do the Edmonton Oilers have in the 2025 NHL Draft?

The 2025 National Hockey League Draft is set to take place on Friday and Saturday at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

As of Friday morning, the Edmonton Oilers have four selections in this year’s draft. They don’t have any of their first five draft picks, but added selections in the third and fourth rounds from other teams.

Edmonton’s first pick will come on Saturday in the third round by way of the St. Louis Blues as compensation for signing restricted free agent Dylan Holloway last off-season. The second-round pick the Oilers received from the Blues in return for Philip Broberg was moved to the Boston Bruins in the Trent Frederic trade.

The next selection by the Oilers will come in the fourth round with a draft pick that’s been traded multiple times. The Ottawa Senators sent Roby Jarventie and a fourth-round pick to Edmonton last summer in exchange for two prospects. The Oilers later moved that pick to the Canucks for VasilyPodkolzin, and then Vancouver sent it back to Edmonton for Evander Kane.

The Oilers didn’t have their own first-round selection at last year’s draft, but traded their 2025 first-round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers to select Sam O’Reilly with the No. 32 overall pick.

It doesn’t seem likely that the Oilers will trade into the first round of the draft this year. They traded their 2026 first-round pick to the San Jose Sharks for Jake Walman ahead of the trade deadline and they moved their second-round pick in this summer’s draft all the way back in 2022.

We could still see the Oilers be active on the first day of the draft on Friday. The team is looking to clear salary cap room and Viktor Arvidsson appears to be the next player on the way out following the Kane trade earlier this week.
