After seeing <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/trades/former-oilers-first-overall-pick-taylor-hall-and-mikko-rantanen-involved-in-major-blockbuster-trade' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>former Edmonton Oilers star Taylor Hall traded to the Carolina Hurricanes earlier this week</a> new reports have now revealed several targets for the Oilers themselves. The Oilers as they have been for the last several seasons are a contending team that many expect to make a deep Stanley Cup Playoff run. With any team that is contending the Oilers are expected to make a major addition at the NHL Trade Deadline to bolster their forward group. Over the last month, the Oilers have been linked to several different high profile players and other depth pieces at the trade deadline. Today those connections have continued as Daniel Nugent-Bowman has added three names to the Oilers wishlist at the trade deadline approaches. <h3>NHL reporter reveals the Edmonton Oilers are expected to pursue three high-profile players</h3> In a new report, Nugent-Bowman decided to discuss the Edmonton Oilers trade deadline plans and confirmed that the team has been connected to both Nick Bjugstad and Jake Evans. The Edmonton Oilers have been connected to F Nick Bjugstad & F Jake Evans. Per, Daniel Nugent-Bowman. Of course, Bjugstad should be a familiar name to Oilers fans as he had a stint with the team in the 2022-23 season where he played 19 games. As for Evans, this is the second time his name has been floated around in relation to the Oilers as insider Pierre LeBrun spoke about Evans and the Oilers as well as the Oilers' other options during an episode of Insider Trading. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TSNHockey/status/1877403844042191059'> </a></blockquote></div> Along with these two players, Nugent-Brown also revealed that the Oilers have been one of the teams keeping tabs on former Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews. He admits that the signing of Toews for the Oilers likely would be something for next year and not an option for this season. The Oilers are a natural team for Toews to be linked to considering Bowman was his longtime GM in Chicago. However, the possibility of the Oilers signing Toews before the trade deadline is a long shot at this point considering the three-time Stanley Cup champion hasn't resumed skating. Right now, he appears to be more of a player to watch for training camp. With Toews's close relationship alongside Oilers GM Stan Bowman, it seems likely that the Oilers will be a favorite to land Toews if he does make a comeback whether that ends up being this season or next season. As the trade deadline inches closer we will pass along the latest news regarding who the Oilers are likely to target and how it impacts their chances at winning the Stanley Cup.
