Description

Fixing the oilers by primarily trading with Canadian teams. It might be more difficult to get a trade done with an American team due to covid restrictions. So I don't think EDM will be in on too many of the big ticket rentals like Klinberg or Kessell or anyone who would need to waive a NTC.
All of these trades could be done while the oilers have a short schedule break, no need to wait for the deadline because these teams will definitely be sellers.

That said they Oiler need a goalie and I think they shound go for holtby. He's won the cup and is having a good season so you'll need to overpay to get him early before the deadline.

However the oilers need to move heaven and earth to get a goalie. They should go after Holtby I think. Low cap hit, a Stanley cup ring, and he has experience in "must win" high pressure games. You'll need to over pay but it might be worth it if you cant afford to miss the playoffs.
