As the NHL schedule renews following the recent all-star break, the Edmonton Oilers sit three points out of a wild-card berth in the Western Conference. With the Oilers off until Feb. 2, they could fall further behind.
In the wake of last week’s firing of Peter Chiarelli as general manager, NHL.com’s Dan Rosen wondered if they’ll be buyers or sellers by the Feb. 25 trade deadline.
Following the Chiarelli firing and the announcement Keith Gretzky would take over as GM on an interim basis, The Edmonton Sun‘s Terry Jones reported team CEO Bob Nicholson said they wouldn’t trade any assets for a quick fix.
