Since he was traded to Edmonton on Feb. 29, Maroon leads all Oilers in goals since then, with 22 tallies in 56 games. He’s given the Oilers exceptional production for a player GM Peter Chiarelli essentially gave up nothing for. Not to mention, he only costs $1.5 million.
Maroon has 14 goals this season which has him tied for the team lead with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. He also has 21 points in 40 games. He also played the best game of his NHL career Thursday, recording a hat-trick in the team’s 4-3 win over Boston.
