Oilers Make It Clear They Won’t Trade Broberg for Rental
February 18, 2024 by Jesse Courville-Lynch
It’s becoming clear that the Edmonton Oilers will go all-in for a Stanley Cup this season. Their 16-game winning streak may have been snapped recently in a loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, but they continue to play solid hockey and seem poised to make the playoffs after starting the season 3-9-1.
Oilers Reportedly Making Strong Push for Flames’ Chris Tanev
February 18, 2024 by Jesse Courville-Lynch
The Edmonton Oilers have been having one of the most interesting 2023-24 campaigns. They decided to fire their coaching staff after a 3-9-1 start and swapped Jack Campbell for Calvin Pickard after Campbell’s atrocious start. Now, after a 16-game winning streak, the Oilers have their sights set on making a splash at the trade deadline and adding assets in hopes of making a deep playoff run. While the Oilers have yet to make any big moves leading up to the deadline, they will likely be looking to get more active on the trade front in hopes of getting the jump on some other teams who will also be looking to make improvements to their roster.

NHL Rumors: Flames, Oilers, Maple Leafs, Senators
February 19, 2024 by Jim Parsons
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, could the Calgary Flames look to sit either Noah Hanifin or Chris Tanev before the trade deadline? Playing games risks possible injuries, but sitting either for too long creates optic issues like the one last season with Jakob Chychrun. Meanwhile, Connor Brown is coming out of the lineup for the Edmonton Oilers. Is this just a wake-up call? Or, is there a chance to Oilers contemplate moving him to create salary cap space? Finally, how aggressive will the Toronto Maple Leafs be? Any chance they move their first-round pick for a rental? Would they dare push all in for a player that might go to Ottawa in the offseason?
