Allan Mitchell of The Athletic: The Edmonton Oilers have some depth on the blueline. They may need to make some decisions on which veterans to move this offseason to create room for some younger players.
Adam Larsson has two years left on his deal and would get some trade interest. The new GM could consider moving Larsson for a scoring winger, then trading for a puck-moving defenseman like Tyson Barrie.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins contract expires after the 2020-21 season. If the Oilers held on to him next year, he would potentially be a ‘rental’ the following year.
