Edmonton Oilers Deal Winger Viktor Arvidsson to Boston Bruins for 2027 Draft Pick
- On July 1, 2025, the Boston Bruins traded a fifth-round selection in the 2027 NHL draft to the Edmonton Oilers to acquire 32-year-old left winger Viktor Arvidsson.
- The trade occurred after Arvidsson agreed to waive his no-trade clause; he is entering the final season on a contract with Edmonton valued at $8 million spread over two years, which was announced shortly before free agency began.
- After signing with the Oilers as a free agent in July 2024, Arvidsson contributed 27 points during 67 regular-season contests and added seven points over 15 playoff games.
- He has five 20-plus goal seasons in his career, ranking 19th last season in shots per 60 minutes among NHLers with significant even-strength ice time, providing needed scoring depth for the Bruins.
- Following the trade, the Bruins have roughly $8.7 million available under the salary cap, addressing their need for a shot-first winger amid limited options in free agency.
