The Edmonton Oilers are targeting these 2 UFAs
The Edmonton Oilers are currently rebuilding their roster following the loss of Klim Kostin, Nick Bjugstad, and Kailer Yamamoto.
The team is in a cup contention window, but their bottom six is in need of improvement.
According to Alan Mitchell of the Athletic, the Oilers could consider Tomas Tatar or Paul Stastny to strengthen their bottom six.
Tatar and Stastny have played together on the Vegas Golden Knights, so they already have chemistry and familiarity.
Tatar's last contract was valued at $4.5 million for two years with the New Jersey Devils. As an unrestricted free agent, his contract value is uncertain and may be comparable to Vladimir Tarasenko's depending on where he signs.
Paul Stastny played in the postseason with the Carolina Hurricanes, who the Florida Panthers eliminated.
Stastny signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Hurricanes, including a $500,000 performance bonus.
Both Tatar and Stastny have scored 40+ points with their respective teams and could be valuable assets to the Oilers. However, Stastny may be more likely to accept a team-friendly deal. It's unlikely that Tatar would agree to a discounted contract to play in Edmonton, but there is still time left in the summer.
