There's a high possibility that Kailer Yamamoto will be moved, leading to competition for a right-wing spot in the team.

Some prospects may step up during training camp to fill the spot, such as Xavier Bourgalt or Tyler Tullio. However, if you're looking for a reliable and affordable option, consider Corey Perry from the Tampa Bay Lightning.

«[The Oilers] will be looking for veteran talent in the bargain bin. Think Corey Perry signing for the league minimum with the Canadiens in 2020 and then for $1 million a year for two seasons with the Lightning after that. Oh, look, the longtime Oilers' nemesis' contract is up..»

� Daniel Nugent-Bowman (From «What I'm Hearing About Oilers' Offseason Plans: Trade Candidates, Erik Karlsson Interest, More» the Athletic, 6/01/23).

Perry is a veteran player with a winning record, including a Stanley Cup, Hart Trophy, and a Rocket Richard Award. He's set to hit the market soon and may be looking for a league-minimum contract to chase his final Stanley Cup.

Perry has come close to winning multiple times and could be a valuable addition to the team.

He's still motivated to reach 900 points in his career, which includes 417 goals and 466 assists.
