Jim Matheson: The Edmonton Oilers had their pro scouting meetings in Vegas. GM Ken Holland‘s wish list leading up to the trade deadline should include a right-handed, third-line center that can win faceoffs.
Another need for the Oilers is an offensive left-winger that can play on the second line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and James Neal.
Third-line center options for the Oilers
Allan Mitchell of The Athletic: The Edmonton Oilers have Connor McDavid at No. 1, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on the second line, and Riley Sheahan is best suited as their fourth-line center.
