Tonight, a report from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal has indicated that the Oilers are not expected to sign Klim Kostin. Heading into the beginning of training camp, the Edmonton Oilers were expected to sign a handful of players on tryout contracts to fill out their camp. One player that has been linked to the Oilers as a camp signee is former Oiler Klim Kostin who remains a free agent. In a recent interview, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/former-oiler-klim-kostin-makes-a-strong-statement-regarding-rumors-of-his-potential-return-to-edmonton' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Kostin himself admitted he would love to return to Edmonton</a> if given the opportunity. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/benchrates/status/1965536191534731673'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> However, according to a new report from Jim Matheson, a reunion between the Oilers and Kostin is now unlikely. <h3>Edmonton Oilers Unlikely To Add Fan Favorite Klim Kostin To Training Camp Roster</h3> According to Matheson, as of now the Oilers are not expected to add any players on a tryout contract for training camp. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jimmathesonnhl/status/1966517519792980414'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Many fans were hoping to see Kostin return as a bottom-six forward due to his fun personality and hard working gritty style of game on the ice. This means that Kostin, 26, will now have to come up with a backup plan if he is hoping to continue chasing his NHL dreams this season. Last season, Kostin played 35 games with the San Jose Sharks and tallied just 7 points while playing in a depth role. As the beginning of training camp approaches we will continue to bring updates on the Oilers roster and any surprise additions Stan Bowman and the front office may make.
