The Oilers have signed Greg McKegg to a two-year, two-way contract.

McKegg has had a difficult time sticking in the NHL throughout his career, often times alternating between the AHL and NHL throughout the season. In 2022 he spent almost the entire season with the Rangers, scoring two goals with three assists (five points) in 43 games. Signing a two-way contract with the Oilers suggests he may be destined to start 2022-23 in Bakersfield.

He leads Cleveland in goals (16) and points (28) in 39 AHL games this season.
