RUMOR: Edmonton Oilers Looking to Bring Back Former First Round Pick

It's widely known Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland is on the lookout for a winger, and word on the street is that Seattle Kraken center Jordan Eberle's name is in the mix for trade talks.

Trade Talks Heat Up: Oilers Eyeing Jordan Eberle as Deadline Approaches

With just a smidge over $2.1 million in deadline space, the Oilers are feeling the pressure to make a move, especially with other teams beefing up their rosters. Take the Vegas Golden Knights, for example – they snagged Noah Hanifin on Wednesday and seem hungry for more.


Yet it's not just about snagging Eberle for the Oilers. They have to consider the possibility of him signing with Seattle, which seems to be his preference. There's also the cap situation to juggle. It might involve bringing in a third team and doing some salary retention dance moves. Yet, with the option to add up to $8 million in cap hits before the deadline with 75% retention on deals, the door's still wide open for possibilities. So, stay tuned – anything could happen!
