Massive Blockbuster Trade Rumoured Between The Oilers and The Bruins
In the 2023-24 NHL season, the Boston Bruins and the Edmonton Oilers have experienced vastly different fates. The Bruins have stormed out of the gate with a 10-1-1 record, while the Oilers have struggled at 2-8-1, primarily due to goaltending issues.
ESPN anchor
John Buccigross recently floated an intriguing trade scenario to former NHL player
Ryan Whitney. In this hypothetical trade, the Bruins would offer
Linus Ullmark,
Jake DeBrusk,
Matt Poitras,
Fabian Lysell, and a 2026 first-round pick to the Oilers in exchange for
Leon Draisaitl and
Warren Foegele.
It's important to emphasize that this trade is purely speculative, with no concrete indications that the Bruins and Oilers are actively pursuing such a deal. However, it's a fascinating concept to consider.
For the Bruins, Draisaitl would be the centerpiece of this proposed trade, bringing a genuine first-line center and another franchise-level talent to their roster. Warren Foegele, known for his offensive output and gritty play, would enhance their forward depth.
On the Oilers' side, the acquisition of Linus Ullmark, a Vezina Trophy winner, would significantly address their goaltending issues. They would also secure promising prospects in Matt Poitras and Fabian Lysell, along with the experienced Jake DeBrusk. The inclusion of a 2026 first-round pick adds to the appeal of this hypothetical deal.
While purely speculative, this trade proposal showcases the exciting possibilities of player movement in the NHL.
