Oilers’ Joshua Samanski Shows Promise in NHL Debut & Bobby McMann Trade Link
Also, Oilers' latest news and rumours and trade history with Flames.
thehockeywriters.substack.comI don’t have live access to the latest news right now. Here’s a quick summary based on the most recent widely reported information I can confirm:
- Joshua Samanski is a German-Canadian hockey player who has been under contract with the Edmonton Oilers organization, with appearances in the NHL and AHL, and previously with the Straubing Tigers in the DEL. This aligns with reports indicating his signing by the Oilers in early 2025 and subsequent play for the Bakersfield Condors in the AHL and the Oilers in the NHL.[2][3][4]
- As of early 2025–2026, public sources show him continuing to be part of the Oilers system, progressing through their affiliate and contributing at the NHL level in the 2025–26 season, with a record of several NHL games and several more in the AHL that season.[2]
If you’d like, I can perform a fresh web search to pull the very latest articles and provide a concise, cited brief with key developments (contract updates, team assignments, notable performances). I can also summarize his career trajectory and provide a quick table of his season-by-season stats if that would help.
