David Staples of the Edmonton Journal: Bob Stauffer on the rumor from Joshua Marshall that the Oilers and Jarome Iginla have had some talks about a possible PTO or one-year deal:
“I don’t believe it makes sense and I’m not getting any indications it’s going to happen at this time.”
Stauffer isn’t sure if Iginla would accept a PTO. The Oilers also don’t have a lot of contract spaces left – they are at 51 with three eligible to be sent to junior. On the right side, the Oilers already have Zack Kassian, Anton Slepyshev, Jesse Puljujarvi, and one of Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Strome or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
