Summary
Kasperi Kapanen is back with the Oilers on a one-year, $2.6M deal — a savvy move that adds depth and playoff firepower after he led the team in goals against the Ducks and thrived alongside Draisaitl and Podkolzin. Despite missing time last season, he still delivered 8 goals and 17 points in half the games. His journey from a 2014 first-round pick (via the Kessel trade) to Toronto, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis before landing in Edmonton adds intrigue to his return. The Oilers’ busy day also included moving Darnell Nurse to San Jose, acquiring Mukhamadullin and Zack Sharp, signing goalie Devon Levi, and locking in Ryan Shea for five years — all part of a bold rebuild.
