Oilers leading candidates to land elite forward at the trade deadline
In a recent update, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman spoke about the Edmonton Oilers' strategy leading up to the trade deadline. With the Oilers currently holding onto their number one pick, Friedman suggests they may not be content to keep it. Instead, they could leverage it in trade negotiations to bolster their roster.
Friedman also highlights Philip Broberg as a potential asset for the Oilers. Broberg, a highly-touted defenseman in the Oilers' system, could be part of trade discussions to strengthen the team's forward depth, which Friedman believes is their top priority.
The tweet hints at an exciting and potentially transformative deadline for the Oilers. Friedman suggests that the Oilers could be eyeing Jake Guentzel as a prime target. Guentzel, known for his offensive prowess, could provide the scoring punch that the Oilers are seeking to complement their star players like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
Overall, Friedman's update offers a glimpse into the Oilers' possible trade strategy, hinting at a dynamic deadline period that could significantly impact the team's roster and playoff aspirations. Fans will undoubtedly be eagerly anticipating how these potential moves unfold in the coming weeks.
