With a need for additional depth on the right wing, Edmonton may want to consider signing Drew Stafford, a veteran winger who can bring plenty to the Oilers’ lineup.
In 68 games split between the Winnipeg Jets and Boston Bruins this past season, Stafford had eight goals and 21 points. While his numbers aren’t impressive, or that of a high-scoring winger, he has a lot of potential and attributes that could benefit the Oilers.
First off, the 6-foot-2, 214-pound winger plays a physical game and uses his size and skill to create scoring chances. He is able to drive up the ice and get into key scoring areas, as well as throw hits and backcheck effectively.
