There's one spot in the lineup left to fill
It appears that the Edmonton Oilers are still searching for a player to complete their lineup. However, it's important not to jump to conclusions about Ken Holland's plans to sign a fourth-line center.
Holland has been carefully managing the team's salary cap situation, which was largely his own doing.
As Holland works towards building a playoff-ready team, he must make smart decisions.
The recent signings of Connor Brown, Lane Pederson, and Drake Caggiula were all wise moves that added depth to the team.
Despite this, some argue that the team could benefit from another aggressive winger like Todd Bertuzzi or Max Domi, though unfortunately, they are no longer available.
It's possible that Holland has another move up his sleeve, but the team already has enough depth that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins or Pederson could fill in as a center if needed.
