As per Sportsnet, one of the names the Oilers are targeting is Tampa Bay Lightning centre Brian Boyle. The 6-foot-6, 244-pound forward has 13 goals and 20 points this season and is a proven scorer. Not only that, he is a big, physical veteran who has experience and plays a solid two-way game. He boasts a relative Fenwick of 4.2, and is a plus-7 this season.
If the Oilers were to be targeting Boyle, they likely want him not only for his size but for his leadership ability and his overall skill. Not only that, he is versatile enough to play any position, which makes him a fit for the Oilers on the wing as well.
