One player who may be involved in a trade is Ryan McLeod, a promising young player who recently completed his rookie contract and is now a restricted free agent (RFA). The Oilers could leverage his potential to acquire a defenseman who would bolster their lineup in exchange for McLeod's rights. McLeod has shown promise with 23 points in 57 games, and his development is highly anticipated.
Reports suggest that the Boston Bruins are showing significant interest in acquiring McLeod's rights. However, the Oilers must carefully consider the salary cap implications as they negotiate potential trades. One possible trade option from the Bruins could involve Matt Grzelcyk, whose current cap hit stands at $3.6 million and may be unavailable for retention by the Bruins.
It is important to note that these trade discussions remain speculative at this point, and it remains uncertain whether the Oilers or other teams will find a suitable trade arrangement.
