Luca Münzenberger

August 2025 – Münzenberger completed his fourth year of NCAA hockey with a five-goal, seven-assist effort across 31 games. He will play in the DEL with Kolner Haie for the 2025-26 season. The Oilers also lost the signing rights to Münzenberger, as they did not sign him by August 15, 2025. He will be more of a defensive presence wherever he plays, and even if he does make the NHL, his fantasy upside will be muted. Alex Wyatt

October 2021 – The Oilers selected Münzenberger with the extra draft pick they received by trading down in the first round. The team took a close look at this player when he represented Germany at the World Junior Championship in Edmonton in December 2020. The German defender had a solid, reliable showing in the tournament and started popping up on the radar of NHL teams as a potential late-round pick. The head-scratcher is that Edmonton opted to make a huge reach on Münzenberger by selecting him in the top 100 when one could argue there were a lot of prospects with higher upside available. The young defender is currently playing for the University of Vermont and has four penalty minutes in two games played. Time will tell if this reach was worth it. Jameson Ewasiuk
