The Oilers are on the fence about locking down a key forward who lit up last season with 18 goals — a solid but not elite performance. While he’s a smart, reliable penalty killer and a valuable two-way player, the front office is waiting to see if he can sustain or exceed that output. If he explodes this year — especially alongside McDavid — he could become a 30-goal scorer and command a massive contract. But if he fades, they’ll have to decide whether to offer a short-term deal, restructure, or look elsewhere. The risk is real, but the Oilers are playing it cool, hoping to avoid past contract pitfalls by staying patient — and they’ve got time to adjust if things don’t go as planned.
