Big ticket Leafs and Habs players mentioned as Edmonton Oilers trade targets. Seriously?
“Yeah, there was some word out of Edmonton that leading up to this freeze that they have been having discussions with the Toronto Maple Leafs. I don’t know the specifics of where they’re going. I’m going to speculate a little bit. And it wasn’t (Toronto winger) Bobby McMann. I know there was a lot of attention and a lot of speculation surrounding Bobby McMann going into the week. I know they hadn’t spoken about McMann, but it sounds like maybe it’s a (Toronto centre) Nic Roy, maybe it’s an (Top 4 d-man) Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Those are two that I would not be shocked if they’ve poked on. But I was told by a couple of people that the Oilers and Leaves had conversations leading up to the deadline, the freeze, Deadline Jr. And that might be something to keep an eye on, going out of the break and closer to actual D-Day.”
