Ahead of their clash against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night, the Edmonton Oilers spoke about Friday’s trade that sent goaltender Stuart Skinner and defenseman Brett Kulak to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

“Sad day to see those two guys go,” Oilers captain Connor McDavid said following morning skate. “Two guys that have been great for us for a long time… disappointed to see them go.”

The Edmonton Oilers completed two trades yesterday, one of which was made to solve their goaltending issues. Although the move was made to upgrade the team, players and coaches were left feeling emotional.
