The Edmonton Oilers landed Tobias Rieder, and I am shocked. I was 100% sure he was going elsewhere just from this tweet:
Oilers had brief conversation on Rieder but looks like they’re out at this point. Flames, Canucks, Habs and Sens remain in the mix with a few others. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Kyle Brodziak return to Edmonton. Strong interest from both sides, deal very possible
The Edmonton Oilers, however, have announced they have signed Rieder to a one year contract with a two year AAV. This is a massive boost to our middle six.
