With the NHL Trade Deadline fast approaching a new report has confirmed that the Winnipeg Jets and Vancouver Canucks sent several scouts to a game between two Western Conference teams.

Within the last week the Vancouver Canucks made a pair of blockbuster trades to re-tool their roster.

The NHL Trade Deadline remains a few weeks away with plenty of time for teams to make more moves.

Today a new report has revealed that several teams around the NHL including the Winnipeg Jets and Vancouver Canucks have sent scouts out to a game between the Chicago Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers.

Nearly Half The League Seen Scouting The Oilers And Blackhawks

In a new post on X by Tab Bamford the lead Blackhawks reporter for Bleacher Nation he confirmed that 14 teams are expected to have scouts in attendance for tonight's Blackhawks and Oilers game.

With the Blackhawks expected to be major sellers as they are one of the worst teams in the NHL other teams are likely looking to poach talent off their roster.

As for the Edmonton Oilers, they are more likely to be buyers at the NHL Trade Deadline.

The Canucks have been rumored to be looking for a veteran center to replace the production of J.T. Miller before the deadline comes.

The Jets on the other hand are likely looking for players that are depth pieces both at forward and on defense to round out what has already been an incredible group.

With a mix of bottom feeders and contenders with scouts in attendance it seems likely that scouts will be watching both teams closely for potential trade pieces.

Over the next couple of weeks it will be interesting to see if these scouts in attendance turn into actual deals being made between teams.
