As we are approaching the trade deadline there are rumors the Oilers are looking to make some deals to make a serious run at the Cup this year. One target would be a Center to play on the 3rd line.
Alex Wennberg C @50% - $2.25 Million (pending UFA)
Retain 50% of Wennberg's contract until the end of the season ($4.5 Million AAV)
Connor Brown (pure dump to help the Oilers fit Wennberg under the cap) $775,000 pending UFA
Oilers 1st round pick 2024
Oilers mid prospect or mid pick, dealer's choice
Wennberg is a solid defensive forward who can skate, block shots and win 50% of his face offs. Has some offensive upside as well. Exactly what the Oilers need in an extended playoff run.
