Montreal Canadiens David Savard would be one option on their list. This season the Oilers defensive pairings have shown some flexibility and Brett Kulak for example has played both sides, so a left-handed defenseman that can move the puck could also be an option.

The Boston Bruins didn't realize a big turnaround after their coaching change, so now they could be sellers ahead of the trade deadline.

BOSTON – I’ve said it and wrote it time and again about Tom McVie – he was the best storyteller in the hockey world. It’s not even close.
