Ken Holland Reveals The Oilers Are 'Not Done' Making Trades: Kailer Yamamoto Potentially Being Shipped Away?
After weeks of speculation and discussion, Oilers nation got their wish with general manager Ken Holland making two major moves with his organization. The Oilers sent defenseman Tyson Barrie and forward Jesse Pujujarvi to their new teams and brought in Mattias Ekholm from the Nashville Predators.
However, rumours continue to circle and reports are suggesting that the Oilers are not done on the trade market. With less than 48 hours till the trade deadline which strikes on Friday at 3:00 PM, the Oilers are looking to do more to help their team bolster for the playoff run and Stanley Cup.
Daily faceoff leader Frank Seravalli had mentioned that forwards Kailer Yamamoto and Warren Foegele are players that could be of interest to other teams.
The idea would be to regain some cap flexibility that the Oilers have lacked for some time. I do feel that the Oilers require more moves as their bottom 6 forwards and defenseman still needs some fine-tuning.
During the first intermission of tonight's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Sportsnet broadcaster Gene Principe interviewed Kenny Holland and asked him a few questions about what they have in store before Friday.
