Despite a rough regular season, Connor Brown came to life for the Edmonton Oilers in the playoffs, and now he's back with the team for the 2024-25 season.
NHL free agency is officially here, and while this one won't make the headlines around the NHL on par with Jake Guentzel, Steven Stamkos or other big deals, it's a good move for the Oilers. According to TSN's Chris Johnston, veteran forward Connor Brown will now officially return to Edmonton on a one-year deal.
The deal carries a cap hit of $1 million, and after breaking out in the playoffs with two key points in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the confidence is high that he can continue the momentum heading into the regular season.
They'll look to follow this up with some more moves, but for now, this is a cheap, depth signing for a talented team looking to make it back to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2024-25.
