On April 26th, Edminton Oilers fans imagined building a dream team from their top free agent signings across history. We're talking left-wing, Evander Cain, Center, Craig McTavish, Wrightwing Zach Hyman, defenseman Charlie Huddy and Randy Gregg, plus Goli Mike Smith. This squad mixes dynasty-era grinders with recent playoff beasts, proving the Oilers nailed a few key pickups even if they weren't free agency fiends. Back in the day, Cain exploded in the 2022 playoffs with 13 goals and 15 games after joining midseason, earning a big extension before heading to Vancouver. McTavish, the last helmetless NHLier, locked down center for eight seasons, hitting 30 plus points yearly and snagging four Stanley Cups despite away. Wild signing story from 1985. Hyman, on a seven-year deal at 5.5 million a season, looks like a bargain straight out of Toronto. These vets left marks. Huddy piled up 57 points in 82-83, one plus minus gold and claimed five cups as a two-way

shutdown. Guy from the franchise is first year. Greg, another five-cup hero, delivered 20 plus points most seasons and shown in playoffs like the 84 run. Fans love their grit, from community work to board battles. Smith brought the fire lay career, posting 0.902 say percentages or better, peaking with a 0.913 clip in 20. 22 to hit the western final. Honorable nods go to Dustin Penner, Milan Lucish, Petter Sacora, and more, but this core stands tall. Stack this free agent crew against the oilers all trade squad in their primes, and you'd have an epic clash dynasty toughness versus modern flash. All fueling that endless chase for another cup in oil country. I'm Corey with the story. That's your NHL news today update. AI powered and always on.
