One player who could be moved is Ryan McLeod, who recently completed his rookie contract and is now a RFA, the Oilers may leverage his potential in exchange for a defenseman that could strengthen their lineup in exchange for McLeod's rights.
McLeod has demonstrated promise, tallying 23 points in 57 games, and is expected to further develop his skills in the future. The Boston Bruins are reportedly heavily considering trading for his rights.
However, the Oilers must carefully consider the salary cap implications in their trade negotiations. For instance, Matt Grzelcyk, with a current cap hit of $3.6 million, presents a potential trade option from the Boston Bruins, who are unable to retain him.
