Three Potential Trade Targets For The Edmonton Oilers Revealed

Goaltender Jake Allen of the Montreal Canadiens is also on the Oilers' watchlist. Although the Canadiens aren't actively looking to move him, the Oilers might explore the possibility if they are willing to meet the asking price. Allen has another year left on his contract and holds a seven-team no-trade list. One thing worth noting is that Edmonton's goaltending has been much better of late. The need isn't as pressing as it once was.

For defensive reinforcements, Ilya Lyubushkin emerges as a potential target. The rugged defenseman offers an affordable option for contenders looking to add defensive bite. The expectation is that he might be on the move before the trade deadline.

Among the notable names is Adam Henrique, currently in the final year of his contract, making him a prime candidate for a mid-season move to bolster the Oilers' forward depth. He's a versatile forward who can offer top-six production and two-way play at a reasonable price. Colorado, Nashville, Carolina, Winnipeg, New Jersey, and the New York Rangers were also listed as interested teams.

Another intriguing option is Anthony Duclair from the San Jose Sharks, a pending unrestricted free agent with a solid cap hit and valuable experience in the Stanley Cup Final with the Florida Panthers last season. The Oilers may consider making a move well before the deadline to secure Duclair's services. Colorado and Vegas were also listed as potential suitors.
