Hot Links: Monday, July 13

Morning, folks!

It’s a big day for hockey fans with NHL training camps officially opening today!

The Oilers released their full training camp roster over the weekend, and will look to fine tune it over the coming days before the Qualifying Round begins on August 1.

With Edmonton set to embark on (hopefully) a deep playoff run, who will be their Fernando Pisani?

Deadline acquisition Mike Green has chosen to opt out of resumption, citing family reasons. What does his absence mean for Edmonton?

Alex Chiasson started to find some joy in the latter half of the shortened season with 10-9-19 in his final 45GP. What can Edmonton expect from him this summer?

Lowetide took a look at the Oilers approach to drafting players from Russia from 2010 on before profiling a few Russian-born prospects in the 2020 Draft.

Philip Broberg will participate in the Oilers’ camp, but will return to Sweden to join Skelleftea at its conclusion.

What should the Oilers expect from their Art Ross winner, Leon Draisaitl, this summer?

Tyler Benson probably finds himself on the outside looking in at camp, but he did enjoy a real cup of coffee with the big club this season. What lies ahead for him?

Remembering Tommy Salo’s time as an Oiler, easily one of the best 5,000 goalies to ever play for the Oilers.

The Athletic tried to look for NHL comparables for the Oilers’ top 10 prospects. Which comparable is most exciting? Which is most disappointing?

Sunil Agnihotri joined CBC to talk Return to Play, Oilers, and more!
