Oilers Target Penalty Killers | Edmonton Oilers News

Kurashev, the youngest and a former Oiler draft pick, offers solid two-way play with 54 points last season and fits the bill perfectly—even if his projected $3.4M AAV is tight for their budget. The choice? Balance youth and offense against proven face-off reliability. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
