Alex Killorn

The Edmonton Oilers are a team that is desperately in need of some help at the bottom of their lineup if they want to make a deep run in the playoffs next season. One player who could be a perfect fit for them is Alex Killorn. Killorn is a versatile forward who can play on both the wing and at center, and he has a proven track record of success in the NHL.

One of the reasons that Killorn would be a good fit for the Oilers is his ability to play in all situations. He is a strong penalty killer and has shown that he can produce offensively as well. Killorn had 64 points in 82 games last season, and he is almost guaranteed to score at least 15 goals. He also has playoff experience, having won a couple of Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Another reason that Killorn would be a good fit for the Oilers is his physicality. He is a big body that is not afraid to go to the net and battle for pucks. This type of player is always valuable in the playoffs, where games tend to get more physical. Killorn is also a player who can get under the skin of his opponents, which can be a valuable asset in a playoff series.

Killorn would be a good fit for the Oilers because he is a veteran player who has been around the league for a while. He would bring leadership and experience to the Edmonton Oilers team. He could help mentor some of the younger players on the team, and his presence in the locker room could be a calming influence on this team.

On top of all this, I think because of his age he won’t be looking for a big-ticket. He will be looking to win another Cup and with the Edmonton Oilers poised to be Cup favourites again, it would make sense for him to come here.
