Edmonton Oilers linked to $27m veteran Jonathan Marchessault, pressure mounts as Oilers eye scoring boost for NHL 2025-26 season

With Stanley Cup pressure building and a need for top-six scoring, Edmonton could see Marchessault as a high-risk, high-reward acquisition, if contract hurdles and fit can be managed.
