Three Edmonton Oilers Who Are Likely Out The Door This Off-Season
The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly considering trades for several players in the offseason to free up cap space and address areas of need.
One player that may be on the move is goaltender Jack Campbell, whom the team had hoped would become their long-term starter. However, Campbell has struggled this season, posting a 3.57 goals-against average and a .882 save percentage. As a result, the Oilers may need to sweeten the deal in any trade involving Campbell.
Another player that could potentially be moved is winger Kailer Yamamoto. Despite his $3.1 million cap hit, Yamamoto has had trouble establishing himself as a top-six forward and may benefit from a change of scenery. He has recorded 10 goals and 10 assists in 47 games this season.
On the defensive side, Brett Kulak may be a trade candidate due to the Oilers' recent acquisition of Mattias Ekholm, which has created a logjam on the left side of the defense. However, any team that acquires Kulak would have him under contract until the end of the 2025-26 season, with a $2.75 million cap hit.
