The Edmonton Oilers have the oldest team in the NHL, however, adding young top prospect Matthew Savoie to replace Dylan Holloway could be a good start. Changes such as the losses of Dylan Holloway, Warren Foegele, Ryan McLeod, and even Philip Broberg are going to be huge adjustments for the Edmonton Oilers, making them an older and slightly slower roster. It'll be quite interesting to see how the team performs over a grueling 82-game season. It seems that the Oilers could use an influx of energy and speed in their lineup, and perhaps their top prospect Matthew Savoie could be the solution. Acquired in a straight-up deal with the Buffalo Sabres for Ryan McLeod, Matthew Savoie has the best pedigree around as the 2022 ninth-overall draft pick. He's had a little taste of NHL action already with the Sabres, and at least one report suggested he could get serious playing time with the Oilers if they feel his speed and skillset address a hole in their lineup. <q>Two attendees to these sessions are young players on value contracts that have an outside shot at cracking this roster.

Names such as Lane Pederson, Raphael Lavoie, and Noah Philp also join the ranks of prospects who could fight for a roster spot with the Oilers this season. And with question marks around whether an older team can continue to keep pace and sustain the rigors of the long NHL season, getting in some fresh legs might prove to be important. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/OADsBraydonW/status/1831838144473514378'> </a></blockquote></div> Veterans like 39-year-old Corey Perry will also have their workload monitored in order to sustain endurance for the playoffs and create an opportunity for younger prospects to fill his place in the lineup. So far, head coach Kris Knoblauch has gained the trust of the fans with his calls, and yet it has to be seen whether or not he relies on the organization's youth to keep things balanced throughout the season.
