Ken Holland confirms a player is being traded
As the off-season begins with the draft and free agency, Ken Holland is determined to enhance the Edmonton Oilers roster. Once the draft is over, teams will have to make decisions on who to move.
To optimize cap space and improve their struggling defense, it appears that the Oilers may need to trade a player.
Oilers GM Ken Holland: «We have to move a player out just to get cap compliant»
Rumor has it that they are interested in acquiring Brett Pesce from the Hurricanes, with whom they have traded in the past.
This could be another opportunity for the Hurricanes to benefit from a reclamation project. It might be worth considering moving Kailer Yamamoto to clear cap space and give him a fresh start.
Regardless, the team will have to let some players go, and explore buyouts and trades to ensure cap compliance for the upcoming season.
