"While the best hockey players in the world gather in Italy, general managers and executives around the league are still staying in constant contact, discussion parameters of trades. The NHL's roster freeze concludes on Feb.22, and teams will have 12 days to sprint to the finish line in any transaction, as the trade deadline is set for Mar.6. Here's the very latest from around the NHL:"
"Bowman has $2.8 million in cap space to work, so his hands are a bit tied when it comes to how significant of an impact he can make. The Oilers will be bargain shopping, and that's one of the many reasons they've been linked to the Maple Leafs, as Nicolas Roy, Bobby McMann, Brandon Carlo, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson are likely four trade candidates they're considering right now."
The NHL roster freeze ends Feb. 22, giving teams 12 days before the Mar. 6 trade deadline to complete deals. Olympic play has paused roster movement but general managers remain in contact evaluating trade parameters. The Edmonton Oilers are 28-22-8, second in the Pacific, and seek a bottom-six forward plus a shutdown defenceman to bolster depth. General manager Stan Bowman has $2.8 million in cap space, which limits major acquisitions. Edmonton is linked to Maple Leafs targets such as Nicolas Roy, Bobby McMann, Brandon Carlo, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson and may trade NHL-ready prospects due to limited draft assets.
