Viktor Arvidsson was a solid piece for the Edmonton Oilers last season, but now, they've cleared up some cap space by moving the veteran winger in a surprise deal.

The Boston Bruins are acquiring winger Viktor Arvidsson from the Edmonton Oilers for a 2027 fifth-round draft pick.

The Edmonton Oilers on Monday signed veteran defenseman Evan Bouchard, 25, to a four-year contract, according to multiple reports, avoiding free agency with one of their most valued blueliners who helped the club to back-to-back Western Conference titles.

It’d be easy to look at Evan Bouchard’s new contract with a gaping mouth. It’d be simpler still, now that he’s set to become the NHL’s fourth-highest-paid defenseman, to fret about what that means for the Edmonton Oilers’ chances of competing for the Stanley Cup not only next season but for years to come.
