EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers signed forward Viktor Arvidsson to a two-year, US$8-million contract and gave forwards Corey Perry and Connor Brown one-year extensions among multiple moves the club made Monday.

The Oilers, who reached the Stanley Cup final only to lose in Game 7 to the Florida Panthers less than a week before NHL free agency began, also signed 14-year NHL veteran forward Jeff Skinner to a one-year contract among almost a dozen player transactions.

Arvidsson says Edmonton defenceman and fellow-Swede Mattias Ekholm lobbied him hard to become an Oiler. "I know people are concerned about that, but I'm the only guy who knows my body and I feel great and I feel confident. This is going to be a great year and I'm going to play a lot of games.""The team itself is built really well," Arvidsson said."I feel like they were really close this year and I hope I can help the team move even further."

In his fourth trip to a Stanley Cup final in five years, the 39-year-old had a goal and a pair of assists in 19 playoff games in which he averaged 10 minutes 45 seconds ice time per game. Perry will play in his 20th NHL season in 2024-25. The six-foot, 185-pound forward was a key cog in Edmonton's stingy penalty-killing unit that allowed just four power-play goals for a 94.3 per cent success rate in the post-season.
