The Edmonton Oilers traded defenseman Spencer Stastney to the Pittsburgh Penguins on October 7, 2026, acquiring forward Filip Hallander in exchange. This move is part of the Oilers' strategy to improve their depth as they cope with injuries among forwards. Hallander, a former top prospect, has previous experience in the NHL and offers positional flexibility for Edmonton.
