Yes, both Marody and Benson are eligible for expansion. Expansion eligibility is based on the # of Professional Seasons, so both of them qualified based on their AHL years. You can see the full list of expansion eligible players on the Oilers here: https://puckpedia.com/team/edmonton-oilers/expansion, and the rules on expansion eligibility are also included on that page.
