Henrique stays with Oilers on 2-year, $6M deal

The Edmonton Oilers reupped forward Adam Henrique with a two-year contract carrying an average annual value of $3 million, the team announced.

Henrique recorded 24 goals and 27 assists in 82 games split between the Anaheim Ducks and Oilers last season. Edmonton surrendered a first-round pick as part of the package to land the veteran forward ahead of the 2024 trade deadline.

The 34-year-old tallied seven points in 17 games during Edmonton's run to the Cup Final, primarily serving as the team's third-line center.

The Oilers have been busy Monday, reeling in Jeff Skinner and Viktor Arvidsson, in addition to bringing back Henrique, Connor Brown, Mattias Janmark, and Corey Perry.

Further moves may be coming, though, as Edmonton is $2.4 million over the salary cap and still needs to sign restricted free agents Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg.
