Jason Gregor of OilersNation: The Edmonton Oilers would like to add a scoring winger but they don’t have a lot of salary cap space to work with.
GM Ken Holland tried to sign a few players at the start of free agency but was outbid. Wayne Simmonds got $1.5 million more than what the Oilers offered.
Derick Brassard had been looking for a four-year deal at over $4 million per and likely won’t move off of that for now.
Have been told the Oilers could possibly do $3 million per, but would ideally be in around $2 to $2.
