The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Viktor Arvidsson to a two-year, $8 million contract, addressing their need for additional scoring depth. Arvidsson, who previously played for the Los Angeles Kings and Nashville Predators, has a history of being a reliable scorer despite recent injury setbacks. His decision was influenced by fellow Swede and Oilers' defenseman Mattias Ekholm. The Oilers also retained forwards Mattias Janmark, Connor Brown, and Corey Perry, strengthening their roster in preparation for another Stanley Cup run. These strategic signings aim to build on the team's near-success last season, where they reached Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.
