Site Editor Caleb Kerney discusses Connor Brown's potential impact on the Edmonton Oilers this coming season. The Edmonton Oilers' most notable offseason addition was [https://www.nhl.com/oilers/news/release-oilers-sign-connor-brown-to-one-year-contract-345155792] winger Connor Brown.

Over the course of his 448-game career, he has scored 90 goals, while posting 216 points. He also has hit the 20-goal mark just twice in his career. He most recently in 2020-21 with the Ottawa Senators, where he had 21 goals in just 56 games played.
