A deep dive into the Edmonton Oilers' WHL prospect pool.
Welcome to this edition of the 2026 WHL Prospect Pools. Throughout the 2026 off-season, we will be looking at current or recently graduated WHLers who have been drafted or signed by NHL clubs. Today's organization is the Edmonton Oilers.
The Oilers prospect pool features two players who played in the WHL last year. Both were selected in the 2025 draft. Here is a look at Tommy Lafrenière and David Lewandowski.
Starting with Lafrenière, the Kamloops Blazers forward recently finished his second WHL season. The 19-year-old scored 41 goals while recording 77 points in 67 games. Next year, Lafrenière is headed to the NCAA, where he will join Western Michigan University.
As for Lewandowski, the Saskatoon Blades forward has played the last two seasons in the WHL. The 19-year-old scored 17 goals while recording 65 points in 57 games. Lewandowski also represented Germany at the 2026 World Juniors, where he recorded four points in five games.
