Jonathan Toews

Jonathan Toews is a proven winner. He has won three Stanley Cups with the Chicago Blackhawks and has been a key player in all of those victories. He has a winning mentality and brings a lot of leadership and experience to any team he plays for. The Oilers could use his leadership and experience to help guide their young players and lead them to victory.

Toews is a strong two-way player. He is known for his defensive abilities and is often praised for his ability to shut down opposing players. The Oilers have struggled defensively in recent years, and Toews could help shore up their defence and prevent goals against.

Toews is a consistent scorer. He has scored at least 15 goals in every season except for one in his NHL career. The Oilers have some talented offensive players in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, but adding Toews to the mix would make their offensive depth even stronger.

Signing Jonathan Toews would be a smart move for the Edmonton Oilers. He brings leadership, defensive abilities, scoring, and popularity to any team he plays for. The Oilers have a lot of young talent, and Toews could help guide them to success.

The issue with Toews is his health. I don’t know if he is going to retire or if he is going to keep playing. If he keeps playing I doubt he would be looking for big money. He would more so be looking for a chance to win another Cup.

The Edmonton Oilers Need Depth Help

There is one thing that all these three players have in common and that is that they would be depth players in the lineup. There is a reason for that, and that reason is that is where the Edmonton Oilers need the most help.

If they can secure some of their own RFAs and UFAs and maybe add one of these three players their depth should be better than it was last season and that’s what the Oilers need to do to get better.
