Five Edmonton Oilers trade candidates

Allan Mitchell of The Athletic: Ahead of the trade deadline, the Edmonton Oilers will likely be looking to upgrade in some areas. They’ve moved many future assets over the past few years, and teams will be looking for the same. Top options that could be moved by the trade deadline as the Oilers will take another run at it.

Stuart Skinner – The 26-year-old carries a $2.6 million cap hit and could go the other way if the Oilers find a starting goaltender.

Matt Savoie – Will get a shot at making the top two lines in camp. If he struggles, they could use the 21-year-old as a trade chip.

Vasiliy Podkolzin – Earned a spot on a line with Leon Draisaitl, but can he keep it? Will Issac Howard or Savoie pass him on the depth chart?
