Oilers Eye Blues Top-Six Forward as Offseason Trade Bait

Edmonton is already being linked to a Blues top-six forward, and that tells you how the league is thinking about the Oilers’ summer before the winter even gets here. When a contender keeps popping up in trade chatter this early, it usually means front offices see a fit, a price, and maybe a little impatience. St. Louis is not exactly in a mood to hand out discounts, but the Oilers know their window with McDavid is too precious to waste on waiting around.
