Report: Oilers could make trade

It’s important to note that this sounds like speculation on Mitchell’s part. But, he might be onto something as this is the kind of deal the Oilers have done in the past. In the referenced trade, the Oilers sent defense prospect Samorukov to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for forward Kostin. Although Kostin proved to be a valuable addition for the Oilers, he has since moved on to join the Detroit Red Wings in free agency this season.

Specifics Of Any Possible Deal Are Unclear

While the specifics of Lowetide’s suggestion remain unspecified, the Oilers have a pool of prospects that could be made available in trade negotiations, potentially in exchange for immediate assistance on the ice. Additionally, if the Oilers can create cap space through this trade, it might enable them to pursue a seasoned veteran.

Notably, on Saturday, the team recently placed goaltender Calvin Pickard, defensemen Phil Kemp and Cam Dineen, and forward Brad Malone on waivers, intending to reassign them to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors. Prospects like Lane Pederson and Raphael Lavoie remain with the team, as do forwards Adam Erne and Sam Ganger on PTOs.

As the Oilers enter a crucial period of decision-making, fans eagerly anticipate the team’s moves. It will be minor tweaks that seem smaller in scale that could turn out to be among the bigger winning deals on the season. That is, assuming the Oilers make one here in the next few days.
