Hamblin has not registered a point in 11 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Hamblin has been in and out of the lineup as a depth forward while the Oilers battle a handful of injuries. He took the spot held by Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) in Friday's 7-2 win over the Kraken, but Hamblin still managed to finished with a minus-1 rating and one shot on goal in 10:33 of ice time. The 23-year-old has 13 shots on net, two hits, two PIM and a minus-4 rating this season -- he's not doing enough to be on the fantasy radar in the vast majority of formats.

Hamblin signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Oilers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hamblin has been solid with AHL Bakersfield this season, posting 12 goals, eight assists and 81 shots on goal in 39 contests. The undrafted forward's contract begins with the 2022-23 season, though it's likely he'll spend more time in the minors than with the big club.
