Anton Lander

Lander impressed despite a limited role last year, tallying 20 points in 38 games, including an end-of-season run in which he racked up seven assists in a seven-game span. However, he's constantly ridden the shuttle between AHL Oklahoma City and Edmonton over the past few seasons, and unless the Oilers like him in a fourth-line role, this year doesn't look like it'll be any different. Edmonton is loaded at center with Ryan-Nugent Hopkins, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Particularly if Draisaitl makes the team out of training camp, the Oilers may feel that Lander is best served playing top-line minutes in the AHL rather than fourth-line minutes in the NHL.
