Oilers acquire rights to prospect Jayden Grubbe from Rangers for fifth-round pick

May 31, 2023 | 11:36 AM

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers traded a fifth-round pick in this year’s draft to the New York Rangers for the rights to prospect Jayden Grubbe.

Grubbe, 20, has 39 goals and 95 assists in 194 Western Hockey League games, serving as the Red Deer Rebels captain for the last three seasons. 

The six-foot-three, 203-pound forward from Calgary also recorded four goals and 16 assists in 22 career WHL playoff games.

The Rangers selected Grubbe in the third round (65th overall) in 2021 but never reached an agreement on an entry-level contract.

The Oilers have until Thursday to sign Grubbe, or he’ll re-enter the draft.
