Saad has been relegated to a bottom-six role in St. Louis, having been passed on the depth chart by former Oilers forward Dylan Holloway. He is coming off a 26-goal campaign with the Blues last season, and it still looks like he has the wheels to be an NHL player.

Veteran forward Brandon Saad is now a free agent after a mutual contract termination, and the Edmonton Oilers will be among of the likely landing spots for him this season.

2. Edmonton has become a home to big name signings mid-season for free. The Oilers made such a move in 2022, signing Evander Kane when San Jose had had enough of him, with Kane becoming a key Oilers performer, especially in the playoffs.

The trade announced by the teams comes on the heels of the Islanders signing Tony DeAngelo to a contract for the rest of the season.

Dylan Holloway has been more than just a skilled youngster with an extra gear. The Blues' offseason addition looks better every day.

Brandon Saad has made quite an impact with the Chicago Blackhawks and the Columbus Blue Jackets. He won two Stanley Cups in Chicago before being traded to the Jackets, only to eventually return to Chicago.
