Edmonton Oilers sign college forward Owen Michaels, more signings appear imminent

The Edmonton Oilers scored two quality college free-agent signings last spring. Forward Quinn Hutson and defenceman Damien Carfagna spent 2025-26 playing strong two-way hockey for the AHL Bakersfield Condors. Hutson scored twice Friday night for the Condors, bringing his season’s production to 29 goals and 57 points. Both totals lead AHL rookies. Carfagna has also delivered in Bakersfield, the young two-way defenceman impressive with his speed and consistency. He has yet to appear in an NHL game, but it should be on the horizon if he can stay healthy.Advertisement
