The Oilers and Bruins meet again tonight after a two weeks ago in which Boston won in 6-5 in overtime. How valuable are these measuring stick games for Edmonton as they decide which areas to address at the trade deadline? What’s priority number one for Ken Holland? That’s Hockey examines.

They need at least a middle six scorer and a depth dman.
I personally think that they should grab a top 6 rw, a 2nd paring right shot defensemen and if possible a bottom 6 forward
Oilers need a Klim Kostin 😢/depth forward
As an Oilers fan who watches every game, I don't think there's any chance we're making a long run in the playoffs if we go into it with Ceci and Desharnais on our right side. Bouchard is great offensively but still not good enough defensively… if Ceci/Des are the ones we're relying on after him, we're in trouble.
RW either eberle or Mantha if they cheap enough, buchnevich if you are going to overpay, 4th line center is not really important and ceci is fine unless you can get a clear upgrade like Parayko with retained salary
can't hear shit
They need to find goalie who won't let in 5 goals against Bruins
It's not really a stretch. If Edmonton wins 3 of their 4 games in hand. Then they are really 4 points back. They obviously lose tie breaker. But the Oilers finish strong every season and Vancouver…. im not so confident they will.
Frist a new GM, second a goalie, one that dosent let goals in on the frist shot of the game. Skinner is good but we need a solid goalie.
Tarasenko or Guentzel or Toffoli
bjugstad / Klim kostin
Another Ekholm or Chychrun would work
juuse saros
I don't know how much is doable. Just a top 6 RW and an extra blue liner is a minimum.
Nice shoes Frankie.
What? WHAT?! HUH?!!?! SPEAK UP!!! I CAN"T HEAR YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOBODY WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT AUDIO LEVELS ARE AT YOUR GARBAGE CHANNEL!!!!
Priority is to get a D-man to replace Ceci if possible, and some depth forwards if they can make it work after. I think they are fine for goal tending if you compare Skinner and Pickard vs the other tandems in the league right now.
Oh, hey. It's Craig "Montreal Won't Win a Single Game" Button. I wonder what he has to say? Actually, you know what? Never mind….
Chychrun and Byram/Letang for D, Eberle and Kostin for forwards. Is it doable with their hefty cap restrictions, probably not but one can dream.
this is the deadline ken should go all in, cup or busy
Whats with the audio on these videos? They are too low
And then the leafs didn’t show up against Boston 🤦♂️
Don't trade Kane
