REPORT - The Boston Bruins Are Linked to Another Edmonton Oilers Forward
The Edmonton Oilers faced elimination in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, prompting them to explore potential trades to bolster their team ahead of the upcoming season.
General Manager Ken Holland is actively seeking suitable deals, with some players on the Oilers' roster being considered as trade assets.
One player who could be moved is
Ryan McLeod, who recently completed his rookie contract and is now a RFA, the Oilers may leverage his potential in exchange for a defenseman that could strengthen their lineup in exchange for McLeod's rights.
McLeod has demonstrated promise, tallying 23 points in 57 games, and is expected to further develop his skills in the future. The Boston Bruins are reportedly heavily considering trading for his rights.
However, the Oilers must carefully consider the salary cap implications in their trade negotiations. For instance, Matt Grzelcyk, with a current cap hit of $3.6 million, presents a potential trade option from the Boston Bruins, who are unable to retain him.
It remains uncertain whether the Oilers or other teams will find a suitable trade arrangement, and it's important to note that these discussions are currently speculative in nature.
