The Edmonton Oilers reportedly haven't finished their shopping ahead of the fast-approaching new season, and a major trade is in the works. This is what the well-known insider Frank Seravalli recently revealed, suggesting that the transaction could be finalized before training camps begin. According to his information, this trade could shake up the Oilers' lineup, making it a very intriguing development. <h3>The Oilers have a trade in the works, and we know their priorities</h3> It was disclosed that the team's general manager, Stan Bowman, is looking to acquire a significant defensive piece to bolster their blue line. Currently, apart from Mattias Ekholm, Evan Bouchard, and Darnell Nurse (who had a tough season), the rest of the defense consists of Brett Kulak, Josh Brown, Ty Emberson, and Troy Stecher. It's far from a solid defense, especially for a team aiming for the Stanley Cup. Could the Montreal Canadiens be a potential trade partner for the Oilers? Important decisions will need to be made in Montreal in the coming weeks regarding the Canadiens' defense due to an excess of candidates for NHL positions. If the price is right for Kent Hughes, a trade could involve a Habs defenseman, such as David Savard or Michael Matheson. <q>We know that the Oilers are looking for a defenseman, we know that Kent Hughes (of the Montreal Canadiens) and Stan Bowman have spoken recently, and <a href='https://www.habsetlnh.com/equipe-lnh/canadiens-de-montreal/renaud-lavoie-a-du-nouveau-concernant-kent-hughes-et-le-marche-des-echanges-avec-trevor-zegras' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>we know the Habs are involved in several discussions.</a> - Habs et LNH</q> Whether the Canadiens are involved or not, there should be some action in the NHL soon.
