The Edmonton Oilers saw a handful of former draft picks hit unrestricted free agency on Friday. Luca Munzenberger, Joel Maatta, and Tomas Mazura each wrapped up their fourth and final year of NCAA eligibility in 2025-26.
On Friday (July 4), Edmonton Oilers prospect Luca Munzenberger signed with German club Kölner Haie of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), essentially bringing an end to any future the 22-year-old defenceman might have had with the Oilers.
