Sometimes the best way to start over is to start somewhere new. At least, that’s what Robbie Jarventy might be thinking.
The Edmonton Oilers have several decisions to make on players this offseason. On May 5, 2026, Jarventi made a decision to the team. Rather than negotiate a new deal as a restricted free agent, he has decided to pursue other opportunities and leave the NHL club.

Robbie Jarventi leaves the Edmonton Oilers organization
Hockey club Ambari Piota announced that they had signed Jarventi early on May 5. The Switzerland-based team released a statement following the addition of Jarventi, one of three signings announced by the team.
“Hockey Club Ambro Piotta is pleased to announce that it has extended the contract of forward Michael Jolley to 2028 and has signed forwards Nate Schnarr and Robbie Gerventi until the end of the 2027/2028 season,” the statement begins. “Robbie Jarventi, a Finnish forward, born in 2002 and drafted in the second round by the Ottawa Senators in 2020, developed his career in the Ilves youth academy, where he made his Liiga debut. He made 58 appearances in the Finnish top division, scoring 27 points.
The statement further said that these signings reflect the identity they want to give to their team.
He added, “These moves are in line with the club’s strategy for a new blue and white era.” “The sports department has identified players with clear and recognizable identities, who are capable of keeping the team at the center and playing with a sense of sacrifice and responsibility. We believe we have chosen the appropriate profile to ensure continuity on the path we are on, thereby creating a solid foundation on which to build the future.”
Jarventi’s 2025–26 season was much better than his injury-plagued 2024–25 campaign. In 61 AHL games for the Bakersfield Condors, he recorded 23 goals and 24 assists for 47 points. The forward added two assists in three AHL playoff games.
Jarventi’s one-year, $775,000 contract with the Oilers officially expires on July 1, 2026.
