Trade rumors are heating up, and with just under a month to go until the deadline, insider Frank Seravalli has named the Oilers as a prime suitor for Kyle Palmieri.

NY Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello isn't a lock to deal any of his biggest pending UFAs away. On an 8-3 run and four points out of a playoff spot, heading into the 4 Nations break, his deadline approach is not certain.

However, Kyle Palmieri, off of a 30-goal season and producing well in the final year of his $5M AAV contract, can get a solid return in draft picks. His 16-team no-trade clause gives him some control over a potential move.

Insider Frank Seravalli reports five teams that may be interested in his services. The Edmonton Oilers top that list, as he would definitely help them push for a Stanley Cup, having come so close last season.

"He's probably a bit higher-end than the Oilers would be looking to add," writes Seravalli, "but Palmieri as a shooter on Leon Draisaitl's right flank is something to think about.» Edmonton is more likely to target a depth defenceman and a more affordable bottom-six forward, but they could look to go for the gusto with Palmieri.


Four other teams are also interested in Palmieri

Other teams that are interested include the Dallas Stars, New Jersey Devils, Los Angeles Kings, and Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Stars have the cap space for a big move with Tyler Seguin's $9.85M on LTIR, and the addition of Mikael Granlund may not be the end.

He also makes a lot of sense for a return to New Jersey. Palmieri thrived there, scoring five consecutive 20+ goal seasons, most of them hitting 25.

Seravalli points out the interest of Tampa Bay, which was in on Brandon Saad recently before missing out. And with the Kings looking to bolster their offense, Palmieri could be a strong fit in L.A.

No matter who ends up landing Palmieri, one thing's for sure, he will definitely be a welcome addition for a deep playoff run.
