Vinny Desharnais headed to market – big physical RS penalty killing Dman – Oilers just don't have the space to fit him in right now. Great story, late bloomer who showed big improvement in the last season and a half. His work on the PK in particular was critical.

My sense is Corey Perry is a good bet to return to the Oilers. Veteran presence in the room, feels he has game left. We shall see. Another interesting name is Ondrej Kase, 28 year old right winger was overseas last year. Oilers need depth forwards.

Oilers adding Viktor Arvidsson and also poking around on Jeff Skinner.

The @EdmontonOilers good bet to be adding a hard-nosed #6 RD who Kris Knoblauch and Connor McDavid now well from their OHL days

WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR
THE UPDATES…
- 9:00 AM MT – Rise and shine, everybody! We’re back with another live blog to keep tabs on day one of the NHL’s annual shopping day and break down everything that happens here in Edmonton and around the league as a whole. We’ve still got about an hour to wait until contracts will officially start flowing in, but the rumours are already swirling around Twitter, and there’s no better time to start the live blog than right here and now. Happy Canada Day Day, everybody.
- 9:30 AM MT – I got in my car to drive to Nation HQ and it seemed like everything happened. James Hamblin signed a new deal and so did Noah Philp.
- 9:37 AM MT – Wow, Steven Stamkos to Nashville on a 4x$8 million deal is wild. It’s going to be so weird to see him another jersey.
- 9:41 AM MT – Chris Johnston is speculating that the Oilers could be a fit for Ondrej Kase. He says that it’s down to Edmonton and Pittsburgh.
- 9:45 AM MT – The Oilers re-signed defenceman Noel Hoefenmayer to a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 at the NHL level. Noah Philp also gets re-signed.
- 9:49 AM MT – Late on the ball here, but it looks like Warren Foegele is going to Los Angeles? I guess our man wants to lose to Edmonton in the first round. I joke because I hurt.
- 9:58 AM MT — Spector just said on Sportsnet that the Oilers tried moving Ceci and Kane at the draft, but couldn’t get a deal done for either.
- 10:13 AM MT – Elliotte Friedman is reporting that the Oilers are signing Viktor Arvidsson. No idea on the terms yet.
- 10:18 AM MT – Arvidsson gets a 2 x $4 million deal.
- 10:30 AM MT – Jake DeBrusk goes to Vancouver on a seven year deal worth $5.5 million per season. Spicy.
- 10:44 AM MT – Former friend, Cam Talbot, went to Detroit on a two-year deal at $2.5 million per.
- 10:54 AM MT – David Pagnotta is reporting that Warren Foegele to L.A. is official. Friedman is saying it’s a three-year deal in the mid-$3 million range.
- 11:11 AM MT – Any guesses on who Bob Stauffer could be hinting at as a #6 d-man that played with Connor McDavid and Kris Knoblauch? Josh Brown? Trade with Tampa Bay for Darren Raddysh?
- 11:27 AM MT – Chandler Stephenson signs in Seattle for seven years x $6.25 million. Mama.
- 11:43 AM MT – The Oilers have signed defenceman Josh Brown to a three-year deal worth $1 million per season.
- 12:21 PM MT – Kinda feel for Josh Brown. Guy hasn’t even played a minute of Oilers hockey and is already getting buried on all platforms. We shall see what else happens.
- 12:29 PM MT – Jack Campbell signs in Detroit for one year at $750K to backup Cam Talbot.
- 1:07 PM MT – The Oilers have signed goaltender Collin Delia to a one-year deal worth $775K if he plays in the NHL.
