Edmonton Oilers add Viktor Arvidsson to improve offense

This move aims to enhance their offensive capabilities, especially alongside star player Leon Draisaitl. The Oilers are looking to improve their roster after coming just short of a Stanley Cup this season.

Arvidsson being signed completes the Oilers' goal of acquiring a top six forward.

Arvidsson, at 31 years old, has a strong track record as a strong and reliable scorer in the NHL. Even throughout a ton of injuries in the previous season, he managed to pull through and stay strong for his team. He also harbours an amazing connection with Matthias Ekholm, who he has known to be very good friends with.

During his time with the Nashville Predators, Arvidsson twice surpassed 30 goals and was often a 60-point player. Playing in an offensive system and next to Leon Draisaitl, Arvidsson is expected to thrive. His signing is a strategic move by the Oilers, who managed to secure him at a reasonable cap hit considering his potential.

Jake DeBrusk was another potential target for the Oilers. The 27-year-old left winger from Edmonton has shown his scoring prowess in 465 NHL games with the Boston Bruins, nearly reaching 30 goals multiple times. Debrusk and Draisaitl on the ice is an epic thought and they would be an insane force to be reckoned with.

The Oilers odds of another huge playoff run are seeming more possible when you consider these acquisitions. With the right moves at the trade deadline, the Oilers could be a strong contender for the Stanley Cup. All eyes will be on President Jeff Jackson as he guides the team in the absence of an official general manager, shaping the future of the franchise.
