Connor McDavid recently told the media that Oilers' management has done a good job of adding players in the past, and he expects the same at this year's deadline. <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/edmonton-oilers-could-be-trading-30-goal-star-player-before-this-week-deadline' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>With the NHL Trade Deadline merely days away</a>, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid once again proved his trust in the team management. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLrumorsX/status/1896582932632125547'> </a></blockquote></div> Speaking with the media on Monday, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/connor-mcdavid-8478402' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>McDavid</a> conceded the nostalgia of the deadline, when players leave and new faces arrive. He is also confident general manager Stan Bowman will bolster the roster by the Friday 1 p.m. MT deadline. Management in years past has always done a good job of pitching in and giving us another horse in the stable to help us coming down the stretch and into the playoffs, so I'd expect management to do the same, McDavid said. Edmonton's ability to make the big moves is limited without salary dumping. Despite having Evander Kane on long-term injured reserve, the Oilers still have only slightly more than <a href='https://puckpedia.com/team/edmonton-oilers' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>$5.1 million of cap space, per PuckPedia</a>. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/OADsBraydonW/status/1896770797064339804'> </a></blockquote></div> <h3>The Oilers don't need a superstar add, what they need is depth</h3> Nevertheless, they may be able to add depth pieces on cheap contracts to help sustain their playoff push. Oilers fans are growing restless, especially with the team losing four straight games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break and giving up 21 goals in the process, before finally winning their latest one. <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/nhl-insider-darren-dreger-reveals-oilers-may-have-an-interest-in-stanley-cup-winning-goaltender' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>This has fueled rumors of bringing in a goaltender</a> to be the backup or replacement for Stuart Skinner. Edmonton was active at prior deadlines. They picked up Adam Henrique, Sam Carrick, and Troy Stecher a year ago. The year before, then-GM Ken Holland shook things up with the Mattias Ekholm trade, something that has since calmed the Oilers' blue line. The Oilers sit at 35-21-4 and are second in the Pacific Division, four points behind the Vegas Golden Knights. They return to the ice on Tuesday night at home against the Anaheim Ducks.
