Oilers made big push for Seth Jones
Multiple sources have confirmed to Sportsnet that Edmonton general manager Peter Chiarelli offered centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to Nashville in a bid to land defenceman Seth Jones.
Chiarelli had no comment on this report, neither confirming nor issuing a denial when reached. And of course, Nashville general manager David Poile chose to deal Jones to Columbus for Ryan Johansen instead. What it tells us is that Chiarelli sees Nugent-Hopkins as the one player from the Oilers former core that can command the greatest return — yet at the same time is expendable.

Hockey commentator Craig Simpson says the Edmonton Oilers should be stepping up, even with key players out of the line-up.

Hamonic will be sent to Oilers at trade deadline, predicts NY hockey columnist
This in, some trade speculation from Dan Friedman, hockey columnist for WFAN/CBS New York, one of his ten bold predictions for 2016: “Travis Hamonic will be traded to the Edmonton Oilers on deadline day. Islanders GM Garth Snow would likely prefer to wait this out as long as he can until the best deal comes along, but if Johnny Boychuk recovers and the Oilers want to play ball, Snow will pull the trigger and put this situation behind him and his hockey team.”

Oilers and Sharks interested in Lehner?
The Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks, it’s believed, are among several teams that have expressed interest in Lehner.
It’ll help if Chiarelli can acquire a No. 1 goalie, preferably an established veteran.
