Yeah they're definitely in win now mode and with Landeskog, Saad, Calvert, Bellemare, Jost, Makar, Cole and Grubauer all needing new contracts after this coming season I'd imagine Sakic will try to add at the deadline with the blueline being the obvious position to upgrade. If the Oilers look like Cup contenders come the trade deadline then trading away solid roster players doesn't make as much sense but if they don't look like they stack up against other Cup contenders and you could add a Newhook who would be on a 3 year ELC once signed for say Barrie and Lavoie or McLeod for example then I think that's a deal the Oilers should strongly consider.
Anyways, with regards to the Holloway-Newhook-Pelletier line I hope they can continue to build chemistry heading into the WJC. I can definitely see that line causing problems for teams trying to exit their zone and being dangerous in transition.
