On Thursday evening, a new pair of reports from insiders Chris Johnston and Pierre LeBrun have linked the Edmonton Oilers to a pair of major upgrades on the trade market.
Earlier this week, insider Pierre LeBrun confirmed the Edmonton Oilers are expected to be active at the NHL trade deadline this season and we now have some potential targets to discuss.
The Edmonton Oilers clearly have not been happy with their on-ice performance so far this season, playing well below the Stanley Cup contender expectations placed on them.
With the Oilers struggling to find consistency, there has been much debate about what exactly the problem is with the team’s roster.
Some blame it on Stuart Skinner and the goaltending as the Oilers are near the bottom of the league in save percentage. Others believe that the goaltending statistics are just a symptom of a struggling defensive unit.
Either way, new reports from Chris Johnston and Pierre LeBrun have linked the Oilers to both a goaltender and a defenseman to target at the trade deadline.
