Elliotte Friedman mentionned that Henrique and Carrick could sign contract extensions in Edmonton.



Carrick, drafted in 2010 by the Maple Leafs in the fifth round, didn't score a point in the three games he played since he joined the Oilers. However, his defensive skills are a great addition for the team's fourth line.


As for Henrique, who played in four games since the trade, scored an assist. In 894 career games, the former Ducks tallied 522 points, including 257 goals.


Both players are expected to play significant roles in the upcoming playoffs. With them, the Oilers have great depth, worthy of all top contenders around the league.
