Should the Oilers go after this Flames defenceman?
The Edmonton Oilers are looking for some last minute trade ideas heading into the regular season, specifically for a right handed shot D-man.
According to Brennan McClain from Pro Hockey Rumors, the best option for Edmonton resides about 200 miles south in Calgary. Rasmus Andersson of the Calgary Flames has two years and $9.1MM remaining on his contract and represents an ideal candidate for the Oilers to plug into their top four.
As per McClean, Despite the fit and the separate trajectories of both teams - the Oilers and Flames don't like each other to put it bluntly.
There have also been rumours of the Oilers potentially seeking a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers, with Rasmus Ristolainen emerging as a prime candidate.
