TSN: The Edmonton Oilers have spoken with the Arizona Coyotes about defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson according to Darren Dreger, but they aren’t the only team.
“It’s in the preliminary phases and, again, given the cap hit that Ekman-Larsson brings back, this is not going to be an easy transaction for Ken Holland and the Oilers.
I would put Boston in that group of teams with interest as well. But also keep in mind Ekman-Larsson has trade protection so he is, to some degree, going to manage this process.
