the edmonton oilers have been in contact with brett connolly's camp, according to his agent gerry johannson.

Johannson confirmed on edmonton-based radio station 630 ched's "oilers now" show on tuesday that oilers general manager ken holland has spoken to him about connolly.

“we’ve talked to ken, and brett had a really good conversation," the agent said. "we’ve got quite a few calls for sure on (connolly). The (contract) number probably is going to be fairly reasonable, i think, to where a lot of teams can look at brett as a fit."

“there’s not a much better opportunity in the nhl than the right side in edmonton," he said. "that’s a pretty big opportunity for someone like brett. And obviously he’s a (prince george, british columbia) guy, so he’s a western canadian. We've got a lot of calls to make, still, and we've got to go through a process and obviously it's up to brett, but ... Edmonton would be a great spot.”
