Edmonton Oilers: Peter Chiarelli’s Smart Game in Free Agency

The Edmonton Oilers made a splash in free agency, signing three players in a span of a few hours. With teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs making a big splash by signing a player like John Tavares, Peter Chiarelli elected to make some adjustments in the organization he might be in charge of for one more year.

Two of the most significant weaknesses that the Edmonton Oilers needed to address was their power play and overall depth to their lineups. These three signings are a step in the right direction for a team that only has one goal for next year: revert to the 2016/17 Stanley Cup favorite.
