The 29-year-old Brown from Toronto played just the first four Washington Capitals' games this past season because of a knee injury sustained Oct. 17.
He underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Brown signed for the NHL minimum salary of US$775,000, but according to CapFriendly, his deal was laden with incentives to bring its worth up to $4 million.
"We're trying to win. We're adding a top-six forward at ($775,000). You're going to have to pay the price at some point in time," Oilers general manager Ken Holland said Saturday. "My expectation is it's going to take him a little while to get going.
"I talked to Connor Brown today. He said he's skating, he's pushing, he's working hard, feels good, knows he's got another good two months before we get to training camp. You can't read the future, but all indications are that everything looks good."
Brown scored 90 goals and has 126 assists in 448 career NHL games with Washington, Ottawa and Toronto.
