The biggest possible signing among Oilers prospects is Russian power winger Maxim Berezkin. I ranked him No. 3 on the winter edition of Edmonton’s top-20 prospect list based on size, skill and performance. He has scored 11-21-32 in 46 KHL games this season, and his free-agent window opens this spring.

The Boston Bruins and Edmonton Oilers may need more depth to achieve their goals, and there's talent to try to acquire.

Make no mistake, what transpired at the end of Saturday night’s game was ugly. Cross-checks to the head and neck, no matter the reason for it, are more than deserving of supplemental discipline.

Andrew Ference can't imagine a more scenic locale to host the 25th anniversary of Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada than Canmore, Alberta.
