RAW | Viktor Arvidsson 07.01.24

Viktor speaks with the media on Monday afternoon after signing a two-year contract with the Oilers.

[@Wulfman317]

Any friend of Ekholm’s is a friend of mine. 👍

[@dylanraymond9878]

What a great add! Drai needed a good right winger and this guy can put up points if he stays healthy.

[@barstar888]

I have a feeling Drai will have Viktor and RNH as his wingers as kind of a level up on that line Drai had with RNH and Yamamoto a few years back under Tippett

He'll put up a career high in points on the Oilers no doubt. Huge add for them

Dude will be Drai's winger, easily see 35 + goals if he stays healthyt.

Ive always loved Arvy. Great signing if he can stay healthy.

Preds fan that’s always loved Arvi. Glad he’s back with Matty. Hope you guys get some good minutes and get some points.

[@ML-my8qq]

I’m glad he isn’t going to be a pest to us in the first round again. Welcome to Oil Country!

[@ryleyw3684]

Great, welcome to the oilers, unfortunate we lost a few and Foegele is going to the Kings but hopefully this year Oilers can make it and win the cup. Looking forward to October, miss watching hockey already, started watching in January so it wasn't enough 😄

[@Maximus-yi2zu]

Great Addition Great Player a asset ta the Team

[@somerandomidiot1333]

Feel bad for foegele gotta watch his old team beat him in the playoffs.

[@charleskletter8974]

Really sorry to see Foegle go but this is Bettman hockey. Screw Canadian market and go for the American big markets. Bettman loves the monopoly board game as long as his rules win

[@Alberta_dogo]

LA won't make playoffs next year they got worse

[@dana102083]

​@Alberta_dogo dont count anyone out. I agree but anything can happen

Great job Oilers 👏👏🙌

Welcome Viktor!

[@mudwiser1391]

Nashville is a great city, but you’re in Oil Country now where we live and breathe high caliber hockey. Welcome.

[@mrfake675]

What? Nice. Love this guy.

[@SanchezKirby]

Reunite with his buddy ekholm 🇨🇦🇸🇪💪🏼

[@anul6801]

I said it before he even came to NHL. He would be perfect with McDavid. Fast, quick and release.

[@Dr.Acula76]

I doubt he'll be playing with Connor. He's a RW and Hyman is too good with McDavid. I predict either Skinner-McDavid-Hyman Nuge-Drai-Arv or switch Nuge and Skinner

[@MistValleyGaming]

lol, I feel like his webcam was attached to the head of a cat who was constantly washing itself! That aside, i like the signing, i like the player, welcome Viktor to Oil Country.

[@maecroft4102]

Welcome!!

[@lonewolfwarrior2143]

Sad to see Vinny leaving the team along with Foegele

[@howinyee5962]

I was glad to see them go. Foegele plays hard but has almost zero finish and for 3.5m that LA paid is not worth. Vinny we barely used him in the final 2 rounds because hes too slow and despite his size doesnt have any bite. Not worth 2m that nucks paid

[@TheMustangdood]

Man, this guy loves to dive. I know hes skilled. Its the diving i cannot stand

[@dianedyck3474]

It will be good for us tho!

[@sprinklermadness]

What a great pickup. A way better fit than Foegele

[@mickhoddy]

Every year when I think Edmonton can’t get any better… fml

[@hardcaliber19]

Lol. Still some seats left on the bandwagon! Jump on, it's gonna be a hell of a ride. 😁

[@TH-tl6sy]

Welcome to Oil Country Viktor. We're sorry for Spector. We wish we could get rid of him.

[@FailedBard]

Doesn't Hyman prefer playing left wing despite being a right shot? I'd expect he'll get a long look with McDavid with only putting him with Draisaitl if he struggles to produce.

[@Tery_Bruins_Drai29]

Why would you put him with McDavid. he has his wingers in RNH and Hyms. Leon needs better wingers. And it has been long overdue.

[@FailedBard]

@@Tery_Bruins_Drai29 McDavid has to have the best and hottest wingers at all times, because if they give Draisaitl good wingers he might do better than McDavid, and then the team panics and has to sabotage him again to ensure McDavid is the focus of everything. Have you never watched McDavid era Oilers? They're constantly sabotaging the team as a whole to pad McDavid's stats.

[@Tery_Bruins_Drai29]

@@FailedBard I have never heard such a stupid take. You really think the teams works like that? Also if they were to pad 97’s stats He would play 24/7 with Drai on his wing…

[@97bronx]

4 Vikings on the team

[@paul-cx2fo]

He’ll play on the second unit for sure. Of course he gets pp time.

[@davequirk4353]

Is he dipping?!😂

[@sensationaldenny]

I'm happy with this signing but wouldn't this be more of a bottom 6 upgrade rather than a top 6 addition?

[@jameshauf1889]

No when healthy this guy is easily a 60 point player

[@onelowvdub]

guy is probably in Edmonton lol

[@ToddSnow]

I forgive him for diving now. And now I’ll be cheering your dives on

[@slushybelt8663]

What the hell are they doing signing perry who does nothing .

[@lonewolfwarrior2143]

He scored a massive goal in the playoffs and contributed in the regular season, what are you talking about?

[@slushybelt8663]

@lonewolfwarrior2143 one goal where he was extremely lucky to be in the right place at the right time,other than that did absolutely NOTHING.only thing he does is slow the team down.and he's bad luck no team wins the cup with his old ass on it.

[@cainpolanco3603]

Is it possible that Drai gets traded after this acquisition?

[@EdwinLukenda-qd8ku]

It’s rumoured they are close on a deal!

[@MrSpatia]

There is zero chance Drai gets traded. McDavid and Drai want to play together - no other team can offer that. Its a 100% certainty that Drai re-signs.

[@Alberta_dogo]

Anyone can get traded

[@Skynertia]

It's possible anything happens. But this signing makes it less likely given Arvidsson is probably Draisaitl's winger

[@ryans413]

Stop saying crap Leon’s not getting traded why the hell would they do that.
