Top 5 Edmonton Oilers players to keep an eye on for fantasy hockey 2022

2. Evander Kane

Evander Kane is about to start his first full season with the Edmonton Oilers after being signed midway through the 2021-22 season. In 2022 there is no doubt he is someone a fantasy team is going to want to draft early to take a chance on.

Kane played in just 43 games with the Oilers last season. That includes jumping back into the game after not playing and being at a disadvantage for not having as much time to get ready to play. Kane still managed to put up 39 points in 43 games giving him the eighth-best point total on the Oilers.

Kane is going to be on a line with Connor McDavid again this upcoming season, and this time around he will get a full season to play and put up a lot of points. Kane might be a sneaky good addition for someone in the second or third round of their fantasy draft as he could put up north of 70 points.

3. Tyson Barrie

The next player to keep an eye on is defensemen Tyson Barrie. Barrie put up 41 points in 73 games this past season. He put up 21 points on the power play and is someone who can benefit from playing within the Oilers’ offensive system.

Tyson Barrie might be one of the best picks around if you are looking for a defenseman to put into your lineup. In 2020-21 during the shortened season he put up 48 points in 56 games.   Now in 2022-23 if he can get back to those numbers, he could be one of the best additions to a fantasy team.
