The Edmonton Oilers are a team in contention for the Stanley Cup, and by nature won't have the best prospect system - but their overall stock took a significant hit in new prospect rankings.

The Edmonton Oilers may have an ideal trade partner sitting right in their division with the Seattle Kraken.

The top ranked trade asset (Brock Nelson of the New York Islanders) has above-average speed but would require a handsome package to acquire. The Oilers are more likely to acquire a player who would cost fewer assets and who owns a lower contract number.

The Edmonton Oilers are a team that, despite having a boatload of talent, have plenty of areas they’d like to improve before the playoffs get underway.
