Stan Bowman and the Edmonton Oilers are cooking a major trade ahead of training camp
A recent report from NHL insider Frank Seravalli has unveiled that the Edmonton Oilers are considering a major trade opportunity ahead of training camp.
After advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals, the Edmonton Oilers had a crazy offseason. Ken Holland, the former general manager, resigned on June 30th. He was then replaced by the controversial Stan Bowman. Next, third-line center Ryan McLeod was traded away by the Edmonton Oilers. Stan Bowman would later trade defenseman Cody Ceci away. Subsequently, the Oilers would forfeit Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg to the St. Louis Blues due to the offer sheets they received.
With all these depth losses, the Edmonton Oilers are in urgent need of reinforcements to sustain their Stanley Cup ambitions. NHL insider Frank Seravalli reported today that the Oilers are aiming to bolster their roster before the season starts.
