EDMONTON – When the Stanley Cup is on the line, you have to push all your chips in.
GM Stan Bowman and the Edmonton Oilers know this more than anyone. With back-to-back Cup Final appearances under their belt, they are hungry to make it to the final playoff round for a third consecutive season.

To make it to the biggest stage in hockey once more, it’s likely an egg or two will need to be scrambled to create a Championship omelet. Here are three Oilers who may get traded this season in pursuit of that dream:

EDMONTON – The <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/">Edmonton Oilers</a> should be interested in a <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/minnesota-wild">Minnesota Wild</a> goaltender.
Mattias Janmark, 32, recorded four points in 22 playoff games in addition to 18 points in 80 regular season games. The Swedish winger provides much needed depth for the Oilers.
However, the additions of Curtis Lazar, David Tomasek, and Andrew Mangiapane are pushing him out of the lineup. Paying Janmark $1.45 million as a fourth line player is less than ideal. Trading him away would free up cap space to accrue during the season to make a big trade deadline splash.
Adam Henrique has been a more than serviceable forward for the Oilers. His versatility to play center or wing is a big feather in his cap. However, with the new forwards in the mix, Henrique is likely to be a top six winger or a bottom six center.
If it’s the latter, that won’t be a fortunate result. Henrique owns a no-movement clause for this season, where he will be paid $3 million.
If the Oilers are going to make a big splash at the deadline, there’s a good chance that Matt Savoie will be on the move.
He’s young, speedy, and developing his two-way game. But, with a team running short on assets to acquire upgrades to their roster, you have to give a little to get a little.
With plenty of time on the clock before the trade deadline, it’s all a waiting game to see what unfolds this season.
