Oilers sign forward Viljami Marjala from Finland Liga.
He's a sign and follow (AHL).. skating will be the deciding factor on his future (as with most prospects!)

In the summer of 2021, Greg Boysen of the Hockey Writers said of Marjala:
“While Marjala is a strong skater, he does not have game-changing speed by any means. Even though he didn’t shoot as much with Quebec as he previously had, he still has a heavy and accurate shot. He prefers to shoot from in close than taking low-percentage shots. His playmaking is what turns heads. He uses his vision and enhanced instincts to create scoring chances for his teammates. Marjala plays a smart and responsible defensive game. He understands his role and positions himself well on the ice. He plays much better than his listed 178 pounds. He battles hard for pucks and uses his body well to establish positioning on defense and protecting the puck when it’s in his possession.”
