RUMOUR: Oilers Reportedly Set to Acquire Three-Time Cup Champion
It has recently been reported that the Edmonton Oilers are looking at Pat Maroon to potentially be the player to turn their season around.
Oilers In Desperation Mode To Turn Season Around and All Chips Are On the Table
The Edmonton Oilers are now in complete desperation mode, with their backs in the corner this season. Any further losses now have a significant impact on their probability of making the playoffs this year.
Because of that, Oilers GM has been reported to be looking for a big trade to bolster their season, and all assets are on the table, according to TSN's Ryan Rishaug.
All eyes are on Ken Holland right now and rightfully so. My sense is, outside their first-round pick, all assets and options (29,97 aside) are in play to try and find a fix. Prospects, 2nd rounders, roster players, all of it on the table.../
Everyone in the league knows how desperate the Oilers are, so making a trade could prove difficult, especially in the net or on defence. Unfortunately, Jack Campbell's $5 million AAV does not help.
Oilers Eyeing Pat Maroon As A Potential Trade That Might Not Require As Many Assets
Despite the difficulty it will be to trade, the Oilers still need to do something. They can bring someone in who is a well-known locker room guy, who has playoff experience. According to Rishaug, that person could be Pat Maroon.
Maroon is not a goal scorer, with only 2 in 17 games this year, but the Oilers don't need that right now. However, it is hard to believe that all of their struggles this season could be fixed by one trade for a third or fourth-line player.
