Viktor Arvidsson has officially been traded from the Edmonton Oilers to the Boston Bruins, with the Oilers receiving a fifth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft in return. The 32-year-old forward had a solid performance last season, recording 27 points (15 goals and 12 assists) across 67 regular-season games, and contributed seven points (two goals and five assists) in 15 playoff games. Over his career, Arvidsson has accumulated 389 points (194 goals, 195 assists) over 613 regular-season games, along with 44 points (15 goals, 29 assists) in 87 postseason appearances.

Arvidsson comes with one year left on his two-year, $8 million contract, which he signed as a free agent with the Oilers in July 2024. This trade marks a strategic move for the Bruins as they look to bolster their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
