The Edmonton Oilers' potential sweetener for the Montreal Canadiens in a cap dump trade was revealed. Last Tuesday, the St. Louis Blues organization shocked the hockey world as they made offer sheets to Edmonton Oilers' forward Dylan Holloway and defenseman Philip Broberg. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1823356215209967767'> </a></blockquote></div> The Oilers are in a tough financial situation now. With Leon Draisaitl looking for a brand new (and expensive) contract next season, Stan Bowman, the Oilers general manager, will need to make tough choices. If he wants to keep Broberg, Holloway, and Draisaitl, he'll need to explore other scenarios. A new report suggested that they could make a cap dump trade with the Montreal Canadiens. In the past, Kent Hughes, the Habs' GM, agreed to take big contracts off teams to help them out; like what he did with Sean Monahan and the Calgary Flames when they were looking to create cap space to sign Nazem Kadri. The Habs took on Monahan's $6.38M deal, but the Flames had to send a first-round pick in the trade. If Bowman is looking to offload money, Hughes could be interested. However, depending on which contract is being shipped off, they would likely need to send a draft pick along the way. Last night, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Nashville Predators agreed on a trade that could indicate how much the Oilers would need to pay if they want to free up $2.5M on the salary cap. The Penguins got two draft picks to absorb Cody Glass' contract. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Habs asking for a similar package to help the Oilers. Full trade details, per NHL.com: <q>Cody Glass was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins by the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. Nashville, which also traded a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft to Pittsburgh, received forward prospect Jordan Frasca.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLdotcom/status/1823693553182368221'> </a></blockquote></div> We should know what happens in Edmonton in the coming days, as Bowman has until August 20 to make a decision on the Blues' offer sheets.
