Why Oilers Should Look to Add Veteran Player amid P.K. Subban, Phil Kessel NHL Rumors

The Edmonton Oilers were one of the best teams in the NHL during the 2021-22 season. However, they couldn't get past the Western Conference Final, where they got swept by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche.

Heading into the 2022-23 campaign, the Oilers remain strong. They have two of the best offensive players in the league in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and they have plenty of other talented standouts on their team.

But Edmonton's roster isn't set. And even though the team is currently over the salary cap (per CapFriendly), it could still make moves, potentially even ones to clear a bit of space so it can make a late free-agent signing or two.
