JULY 1 • EDMONTONJOURNAL.COM

Agrees to potentially bargain deal Arvidsson signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Oilers on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact That's a potentially fantastic deal for Edmonton. Arvidsson was limited to 18 regular-season contests in 2023-24 due to injury, but he recorded a respectable six goals and 15 points with LA when healthy. The 31-year-old has surpassed the 60-point mark twice in his career and finished the 2022-23 campaign with 26 goals and 59 points across 77 outings. Provided Arvidsson can stay relatively healthy, he should be a great addition to Edmonton's top six and benefit from typically playing with one of Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl.

Impact Arvidsson has three points and six shots on net over three outings since he returned from a lower-body injury.

Arvidsson has four points, 17 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through five appearances this season.
