Oilers insider says Josh Brown in line for roster shot in 2026-27
Edmonton Oilers Now host Bob Stauffer has twice this week floated defenceman Josh Brown as a serious candidate for the team's opening night roster.
Edmonton Oilers insider Bob Stauffer, host of Oilers Now, has repeated his belief that defenceman Josh Brown could earn a genuine roster spot for the 2026-27 season.
Stauffer has raised the possibility twice this week, describing Brown as a player who has been largely overlooked within the organization despite the team's need for more physical, aggressive play on the back end.
No final roster decisions have been made, and the report reflects Stauffer's analysis rather than a confirmed team decision ahead of training camp.
