Kyle Connor, signed to an 8x$12M extension by WPG, is a star scoring winger with an elite shot, great speed, and slick hands. Very dangerous with the puck in transition but also one of the best in the league at getting lost in coverage and getting open at the back door. pic.twitter.com/0R426IkBbK

Jack Roslovic, signed by EDM, is an offensive winger with great wheels and nifty hands. Was kind of a weird fit in Carolina where he scored at a really efficient rate in a bottom six role but didn’t otherwise do that much with (or without) the puck. #LetsGoOilers pic.twitter.com/rHxzJROzXX
