EDMONTON, AB - The Edmonton Oilers have acquired the rights to 2021 third-round draft pick Jayden Grubbe from the New York Rangers in exchange for a 2023 fifth-round selection.

Later on Wednesday, the Oilers signed Grubbe to a three-year, entry-level contract.

The 6-foot-3, 203-pound forward from Calgary scored 39 goals and 95 assists for 134 points in 194 career Western Hockey League regular season games with the Red Deer Rebels. He also recorded four goals and 16 assists for 20 points in 22 career WHL post-season appearances.

The 20-year-old, who was the Rebels captain for the last three seasons, was selected 65th overall by the Rangers in 2021 but did not sign an entry-level deal with the club.
