NHL Rumors: Edmonton Oilers – Some Potential Changes To Watch For This Offseason

Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: Some changes to watch for this offseason.

Head coach Todd McLellan is likely coming back but there will be some new assistant coaches.

The Oilers will continue to look for an offensive defenseman. They might have to trade one of their left-handed defensemen like Oscar Klefbom or Darnell Nurse to get a right-handed defenseman. Or they could try a first-round draft pick in a package for left-handed Oliver Ekman-Larsson if he becomes available.

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Tyson Barrie is an obvious trade target, but with 2016 first-round pick Cale Makar returning to school next year, it’s unlikely that the Avs would move Barrie.
