The Edmonton Oilers still have a few holes in their roster, especially defending 5 on 5, but it appears the Oilers trade dealing approach might be to try and outscore their problems. Edmonton news reporter Jim Matheson believes the Oilers are exploring a trade for Phil Kessel.
Kessel is an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season and would only require $3,400,000 in cap space if Arizona were to retain.
