The top ranked trade asset (Brock Nelson of the New York Islanders) has above-average speed but would require a handsome package to acquire. The Oilers are more likely to acquire a player who would cost fewer assets and who owns a lower contract number.

The NHL trade deadline is just over three weeks away, and the Edmonton Oilers have some decisions to make. They head into the two-week break with a record of 34-17-4 for 72 points, tied with the Vegas Golden Knights for the Pacific Division lead.

The 4 Nations Face-Off is about to start, but that won’t stop the Edmonton Oilers from identifying trade targets and players who can strengthen the lineup.

The Oilers have been linked to John Gibson in trade rumours this season, and now one NHL insider has confirmed what it will cost Edmonton to acquire him in a trade.
