Kurt Leavins of the Edmonton Journal: The Edmonton Oilers might have had some interest in Vancouver Canucks center Brandon Sutter. Sutter is now on the NHL COVID protocol absence list.
The Oilers need to find a center before the deadline that can win faceoffs. Sutter may now not be an option. Detroit Red Wings Luke Glendening could be an option.
Some people have mentioned Anaheim Ducks Ryan Getzlaf for the Oilers, but he has no-movement clause and it wouldn’t be easy to fit in his $8 million cap hit.
