Oilers free-agent acquisition’s calling card is his versatility

Mark Letestu has a place to live — a five-bedroom house on the south side — but now he has to find his place on the Edmonton Oilers’ roster and put down some roots.

It may be difficult to pigeon-hole Letestu, though. He’s a Swiss Army Knife as a player.

He’s a fourth-line, right-shooting centre who has a career success rate of 52 per cent on faceoffs. He is also versatile enough to play the point on the power play because he can hammer the puck, but is also likely to be on one of the penalty-killing units with Matt Hendricks based off his work with the Columbus Blue Jackets this past season.
