Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: Sources saying Edmonton Oilers GM Ken Holland has talked at least 12 teams this past week to see what is the market is like. They are looking for a top-nine forward. Connor McDavid‘s injury isn’t forcing the Oilers to make a move, but if they can find something they like, Holland will make a move. They can’t really afford to trade their first-round pick and they need to hold on to some of their good young assets.
The Oilers are interested in Jean-Gabriel Pageau but they are not interested in sending the Senators their first-round pick.
