With the Edmonton Oilers trying to rebuild their roster, it seems that no options are off-limits. Rumors and rumblings indicate that the team could end up trading winger Nail Yakupov, and one possible target is said to be Tobias Rieder.
Arizona and the restricted free agent have reached an impasse when it comes to contract negotiations, due to the fact that the Coyotes will not offer him more than $2.3 million. It is said that Rieder is looking for at least $2.5 million AAV.
