Potential distance goals for the Edmonton Oilers
Allan Mitchell of athletics: The Edmonton Oilers made a few explanation of a distance last season with forward Kasperi Kapanen and defender Alec Regula. GM Stan Bowman could use the wire or trade at the end of August-September to deepen their selection. Some potential goals for the oilers.
Mike Dipietro-Boston Bruins-26-year-old goalkeeper-has only played three NHL matches and nothing since 2021-22. He would probably be claimed by someone who is ahead of the oilers. Would be a trade candidate.
Colton Ellis-St. Louis Blues-24-year-old goalkeeper-two solid seasons on the AHL with savings percentages of .922. and .924. No NHL games and it is not clear whether he is an upgrade about Calvin Pickard.
William Villeneuve-Toronto Maple Leafs-23-year-old right-handed defender-three solid AHL seasons. He drew a one-year-old deal, but an NHL selection can be blocked.
Samuel Fagemo-Winnipeg Jets-25-year-old left wing player shoots to the right but plays the left side. 29 goals last year and 43 the year before in the AHL.
Matej Blumel-Boston Bruins-25-year-old right wing shoots on the left but plays the right side. Would an average of 37 goals in an AHL season of 82 game in the past three years.
Who should look at UFA defender Matt Grzelcyk?
Michael Derosa of Hockeynieuws: Matt Grzelcyk is perhaps the best UFA defender there is still there. Last season he set a career on 39 assists and 40 points with the Pittsburgh Penguins. A look at three teams that should consider signing Grzelcyk.
Colorado AVALanche – They could still combine a third pair of option with Brent Burns, Sam Malinski or Josh Manson, or possibly as a seventh defender. They only have about $ 2 million in cap space. Would he take a reduction of the $ 2.75 million he made last year?
Chicago Blackhawks – they can use a veteran to go with their young group of defender. He could be a second pair of defender and get some power play time. The Blackhawks have more than $ 18 million in cap space.
Calgary Flames-Zou are logical if Rasmus Andersson was traded and right-handed Mackenzie Weegar would move to the right. Can be an upgrade on the third combination about Jake Bean, or possibly with the second link. Have $ 15 million in dop space with a Just Connor Zary to sign.
