Edmonton Oilers:
Cap Space: $16,650,834
Restricted Free Agents
NHL – Tyler Pitlick, Andrew Miller, Matt Fraser, Justin Schultz, Keith Aulie, Martin Marincin
AHL – Curtis Hamilton, Tyler Bunz, Brandon Davidson, Brad Hunt
Unrestricted Free Agents
NHL – Derek Roy, Viktor Fasth, Richard Bachman
AHL – Jesse Joensuu, Kellan Lain
It should be a fun off-season for Oilers fans. With new management, new coach and of course, a new superstar in Connor McDavid, how will that impact free agency for Edmonton.
Roy played pretty well after arriving in Edmonton, but with McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Leon Draisaitl set to be on the team next year, he will be more than likely have to move on. The Oilers will be looking for a new goalie, so one or both of Fasth and Bachman could be gone.
