NHL Rumors: Ken Holland, Edmonton Oilers, and Vancouver Canucks

Mark Spector of Sportsnet: Ken Holland has to do dollar-for-dollar trades right now. Also, there is the lack of draft picks (no second, third, or fifth-round pick in 2021) This is unless he gets out of “salary cap jail”. Now, if he can, there are some needs for the Edmonton Oilers.

Needs include a third-line center and potentially a top-six left-winger. Edmonton could easily pry Luke Glendening out of Detroit but is he really a third-line center? After that, trying to find the elusive top-six winger becomes problematic. Tomas Tatar is likely not coming through that door given Montreal is in the playoff race till the end.
