While going through my series of 3C targets for the Oilers, the possibility that Ryan Getzlaf might be an option always seemed a distant chance at best. Sure, he’s a Saskatchewan native who would likely be looking for a couple more chances at the Cup, but everything I had heard gave the impression that he’d be returning to Anaheim.
However, with recent word from Getzlaf’s agent that he’s planning on testing the market and that he would consider the Oilers in UFA, it’s worth analyzing whether he’d be a good fit for the Oilers.
