As the Edmonton Oilers look to fill out their roster and coaching staff, a former player has expressed interest in joining the team.

Former forward Fernando Pisani would like to join the Oilers in some capacity, according to Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal.

The Oilers fired assistant coaches Keith Acton and Craig Ramsay last week, which could leave an opening for Pisani.

Pisani spent the 2014-15 season as an assistant coach of the University of Alberta Golden Bears. Despite the seemingly good fit, San Jose Sharks assistant coach Jay Woodcroft is believed to have interest in joining newly appointed head coach Todd McLellan, which could limit Pisani's chances.
