Maroon open to returning to Oilers as free agent
by Cory Wilkins from on (#3GV8A)
Patrick Maroon will have fond memories of Edmonton.
So much so that the new member of the New Jersey Devils is open to returning to the Oilers should he reach unrestricted free agency this summer.
"Nothing but good things to stay about this organization," Maroon said, as per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
The veteran forward has played alongside Oilers superstar Connor McDavid since arriving in Edmonton in 2015. Last season, he posted a career-high 27 goals and 42 points.
Maroon, 29, carries a $1.5-million cap hit this season. Given he's tallied 30 points through 57 games this year, he could be due a sizable raise come July.
