The NHL All Star break is in full swing in Toronto with the festivities kicking off tonight with the fantasy draft.
While the break is underway, the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks dropped a bomb last night with Elias Lindholm heading to the West Coast. The Flames acquired Andrei Kuzmenko in the deal, who had 39 goals last season, along with two prospects and two picks including a first. With the number one player now off the market, how does this affect the Edmonton Oilers trade deadline plans?
Reports are coming out that the Oilers have shown interest in Anaheim Ducks forward Adam Henrique. Henrique has almost 900 games played in the NHL and would add plenty of depth to an already deep centre group in Edmonton.
Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin will give their thoughts on the possibility of adding a Henrique along with reviewing the big trade between the two Pacific Division rivals live on Oilersnation Everyday. Jay Downton will jump on the show too giving his thoughts on the trade and the festivities around NHL All Star weekend. Throughout the show, leave your questions, comments and concerns in the YouTube live chat.
Later in the show, former Edmonton Oilers forward Luke Gazdic joins the three of them live in person. With Gazdic, they’ll talk about the trade, the Oilers 16 game win streak and Jay will float his idea of acquiring Sidney Crosby from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
It’s a show you won’t want to miss!

Thing with these “Big Name Player” for “Roster Player, Picks, Prospect(s” trades is that the team getting the big name player wins 65-70% of the time. Way too early to tell right now because it depends on many many factors tho.
