Oilers Sign Alec Regula To Two-Year Extension

May 2, 2025 at 3:27 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

The Oilers announced they’ve signed defenseman Alec Regula to a two-year, two-way extension. He’ll make $775K annually if he’s on the NHL roster. His minor league salary wasn’t disclosed.

Regula, 24, missed the entire 2024-25 season due to a knee injury he sustained during training camp with the Bruins. Boston gave him medical clearance to play in December and placed him on waivers to assign him to the AHL, but Edmonton submitted a claim. Upon arrival in Alberta, the Oilers’ medical staff held a different opinion from the Bruins’. Regula occasionally practiced with the club but has remained on the non-roster list since being claimed.

While he was set to be a restricted free agent this summer, he gets some early stability as he looks to get his development back on track following his lost season. The 2018 third-round pick of the Red Wings is now on his fourth organization, but he’s played well in the minors, just not well enough at the right time to get an extended NHL look. He has a 16-61–77 scoring line in 163 AHL games with a +42 rating, including a league-leading +36 rating with AHL Providence last season.

A 6’4″, 212-lb right-shot defender, he should be an intriguing candidate to watch for an opening-night job in Edmonton in the fall. While most of their current defense corps are signed through next season, aside from top pending RFA Evan Bouchard, he could be a cheap, more defensively responsible replacement for pending UFA John Klingberg on the right side. He’ll compete with names like Josh Brown, Cam Dineen, and Troy Stecher for a depth role out of the gate.

Regula will be 26 when his extension expires, technically making him an RFA upon expiry. If he fails to log 80 NHL games by that time, though (he only has 22 career appearances), he’ll qualify for Group VI unrestricted free agency.
