MAJOR: Elliotte Friedman Reveals a Failed Blockbuster Deal That Was Going to Happen Wednesday in Edmonton
Oilers' Dilemma Deepens
Edmonton, a city that breathes hockey, faces uncertainty as the Oilers endure their fourth consecutive defeat, falling 3-2 to the San Jose Sharks.
Coaching Conundrum
The spotlight now turns to head coach Jay Woodcroft's future and whether General Manager Ken Holland has strategies for a turnaround.
Elliotte Friedman from Sportsnet revealed a significant trade almost took place in his Friday 32 Thoughts podcast, particularly in the goaltending realm. However, the anticipated deal failed to materialize.
Friedman on 32TP: "There are people in the league who believe the Oilers were on the precipice of a big move on Wednesday. I don't know what happened... but I had people say to me, watch the Oilers in goal, they're up to something, and they weren't talking about Campbell"
Trade scenarios, including the idea of Captain Connor McDavid departing due to a trade request, have surfaced. Despite this, details about recent attempts to reshape the team remain elusive.
As the Oilers prepare to face the Seattle Kraken, the lingering question is whether changes will bring a new coach or a fresh player.
