RUMOUR: 14-Year NHL Veteran Linked to the Edmonton Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers are in a position to win the Stanley Cup year after year. With guys like Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, you don't need much more to win.
However, they still come up short. It seems they'll need more depth after all.
There's a rumor going around that they have found the perfect candidate to add depth to their roster.
Veteran Linked to Oilers
According to Allan Mitchell of The Athletic, the player that could solve their problems is in Anaheim: Adam Henrique.
Here's what the reporter said:
"Henrique of the Anaheim Ducks is close to an ideal candidate. He carries a cap hit of $5.825 million, which could be problematic but is not insurmountable. Henrique plays 35 percent of his five-on-five time versus elites according to Puck IQ.
His possession numbers relative to teammates are strong against all opponents, including elites. Henrique's expected goal share five-on-five (45.4 percent) looks poor but shines like a diamond (No.1) compared to other Ducks centers."

He could definitely take some weight off the shoulders of the other centermen on the team.
His ability to play against the opponents' best assets would allow Draisaitl, McDavid, and even Nugent-Hopkins to focus on offense.
