Edmonton Oilers centre Anton Lander will be an interesting player to watch this season. Putting behind him a streaky season, Lander may be looking at his final chance to prove himself as an NHL-ready player.
As it stands now, he isn’t necessarily locked in for a regular role with the Edmonton Oilers, but he does have the opportunity to earn his spot on the opening night roster. The question is, can he do just that?
In the 2014-15 season, Anton Lander’s AHL performance with the Oklahoma City Barons made him a realistic option as a third-line centre for the Oilers.
