Free agency is now just under a month away and many teams are already looking ahead to when it opens. There will be several prominent players set to hit the open market in late July while many teams have key restricted free agents to re-sign as well. Edmonton has already taken care of its most notable potential unrestricted free agent but the Oilers still have some important veterans on expiring contracts.

F Kailer Yamamoto – There was some disappointment in the first half of his contract as the 21-year-old couldn’t get established as a regular. Then came the second half of 2019-20, when he was nearly a point per game player on their second line. That led to high expectations for this season, which weren’t met. However, he still managed a respectable 21 points in 52 games, playing as a full-time regular for the first time.
