Oilers consider major trades this off-season

As the Edmonton Oilers navigate a pivotal off-season, discussions around potential blockbuster trades are heating up. According to Oilers Nation, the Oilers are at a crossroads, facing significant questions about their roster's future.

There is concern that the team might not have enough to compete in bidding wars for high-profile players, given their lack of deep prospect pools compared to other teams. Names like Jordan Kyrou and Robert Thomas from St.

Louis are mentioned as potential targets, but the Oilers may need to part with valuable assets like Matt Savoie to secure such deals. The free agent market is considered weak, increasing the pressure on the Oilers to make impactful trades.

Additionally, the handling of recent offer sheets involving players like Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg has raised eyebrows, with both players thriving after leaving Edmonton. Holloway's contract was seen as a missed opportunity for the Oilers, as he posted significant numbers with the St.

Louis Blues. The overall sentiment is that while the Oilers might not have a flashy off-season ahead, they need to get creative in addressing their needs and making the right moves to ensure they remain competitive in the Western Conference.
