Signed to an 8x$12 million extension by WPG, Kyle Connor is a star-scoring winger with an elite shot, great speed and smooth hands. Very dangerous with the puck in transition, but also one of the best in the league when it comes to getting lost in coverage and getting open out the back door. pic.twitter.com/0R426IkBbK

Puck Pedia: After Roslovic’s signing, the Oilers have $326,000 in LTIR cap space. When Zach Hyman is ready to opt out of LTIR, they will need to clear $2.8 million in cap space.
Jack Roslovic, signed by EDM, is an attacking winger with great wheels and nifty hands. Was a bit of an odd offense in Carolina, where he scored very efficiently in a bottom-six role but otherwise didn’t do much with (or without) the puck. #LetsGoOilers pic.twitter.com/rHxzJROzXX
