The Edmonton Oilers should avoid trading for Conor Garland, despite his offensive skill and defensive abilities. The Oilers have a strong team and making major lineup changes is not necessary to pursue a Stanley Cup. While the Vancouver Canucks may offer to retain 50% of Garland’s cap hit, it would require the Oilers to get rid of players who should not be moved. Other teams such as the Boston Bruins, Ottawa Senators, Detroit Red Wings, and Anaheim Ducks may be more suitable destinations for Garland. Ultimately, the Oilers should focus on minor adjustments at the upcoming trade deadline.
