According to the Edmonton Sun, the Oilers could be an option for unrestricted free agent center Mike Comrie.
Comrie remains unsigned and has been speaking with a number of clubs as training camp quickly approaches.
Comrie, who began his NHL career playing for the Oilers, left Edmonton in a trade to Philadelphia saying he wouldn't want to return.
The 28-year-old refused to comment when contacted by the Sun.
Meanwhile, Andrew Cogliano spoke publicly for the first time since almost being traded to the Ottawa Senators in a package for Dany Heatley.
Cogliano was disappointed to hear he was almost dealt, and hopes he can stay in Edmonton long-term.
"I want to be here for a long time. I want to be a guy who's here for the long haul, but anything can happen. Guys like myself can be moved at any time," he told the Edmonton Journal.
