Assets that could be used to acquire Brett Pesce
It appears that the Edmonton Oilers need some defensive assistance, and according to recent reports, the Carolina Hurricanes may be willing to offer a trade that could help with their needs.
Specifically, it seems that Ken Holland, the Oilers' general manager, may be helpful to part with the team's 2024 1st round pick to acquire a top-four defenseman such as
Brett Pesce from the Hurricanes.
To make the salary cap work, it's possible that
Cody Ceci could be moved in the trade.
Additionally, there is speculation that a change of scenery could benefit promising Oilers prospect Carter Savoie, though it's unclear how he might fit into any potential trade scenarios.
Overall, it seems that the Oilers and Hurricanes could be engaged in some interesting discussions in the coming days and weeks as they explore their options and work to build their respective rosters for the future.
