The Oilers aren't being shy about the fact that they are looking to add a forward and a defender...Making the playoffs is VITAL for this team, and as bad as they have played the Oilers are tied in points with the Wild currently for the 8th seed. That feels almost impossible...Yesterday, on twitter, the Oilers rumors were flying and what happens? The Oilers put in 7 in a win against the Sabres...
Who are they looking at?
The short answer is "anyone and everyone" but talking to sources I would keep an eye within their own division...and Jakob Silfverberg. The Oilers are also talking to the NY Rangers about Kevin Hayes (although not certain Hitch is 100% on board) and The Oilers are also scouting the Leafs about...you guessed it...William Nylander...Talbot and 1st is the starting point...
The Oilers and Hitch DO LOVE Ferland in Carolina.
On the Leafs....
The Leafs loss last night showed a lot when it comes to the defense and dare I say "goaltending" of the Maple Leafs...Parayko in St Louis...Sanheim in Philly...Still no interest in Hamilton I am told...which really baffles me...
Flyers put Dale Weise on waivers...
This is interesting on some levels...word is the Flyers are working VERY hard to add a player or two as they remain more of a buyer than a seller...and I know a few of you out there aren't really in favor of the Flyers as buyers concept.
My next big blog tomorrow will tackle the "Who are the buyers/sellers right now?" as I bring back the Ek Factor Buyer/Seller Quotient...Who do you see as the buyers and sellers right now?
