In typical Edmonton Oiler fashion, GM Ken Holland signed another former Toronto Maple Leafs player this past off-season when he was able to ink 20-goal scorer Connor Brown to a one-year deal.
The former Toronto Maple Leafs winger was a cap casualty during the summer of 2019 when GM Kyle Dubas had to include him in a deal to move Nikita Zaitsev’s contract to the Ottawa Senators.
Brown would continue to be an affective middle six winger in the Nation’s capital, however, after being moved to Washington last season he missed all but four games during the 2022-23 year due to a serious knee injury.
