Scottie Upshall is back in a familiar situation. With the St. Louis Blues electing to move on without Upshall, the 34-year-old forward has signed a professional tryout contract (PTO) with the Edmonton Oilers.
The #Oilers have signed Scottie Upshall to a PTO contract. The forward & Fort McMurray native has played 759 @NHL regular season games & has spent the last three years in St. Louis, tallying 7G, 12A over 63 games in 2017-18. pic.twitter.com/pUghELpyuy

If that scenario sounds familiar, it’s because a PTO was what led Upshall to the Blues back in 2015-16 and then back again prior to the 2017-18 season.
