The Edmonton Oilers signed defensemen Shakir Mukhamadullin and Spencer Stastney to contract extensions this week.

These signings allow the Oilers to maintain stability on their blue line by securing two depth players who provide critical versatility to the roster.

Mukhamadullin signed a two-year contract extension [1]. The deal carries a total value of $3.5 million [2], which averages to $1.75 million per year [1].

Stastney signed a one-year contract extension [1]. While reports on the exact value vary, the official NHL.com release lists his average annual value at $1.575 million [1], though other reports place it at $1.525 million [3].

Both players operate as key components of the team's defensive depth in Edmonton. The extensions ensure that the club retains its current defensive structure as it prepares for the upcoming season.

By securing these extensions, the Oilers are prioritizing cost-controlled depth on their defense. Mukhamadullin's two-year term provides mid-term stability, while Stastney's one-year deal offers the team flexibility for future cap management while keeping a reliable player in the lineup.
