Players Who Could Be On The Trade Block

from Frank Seravalli of TSN,

So, who is No. 1 on the TSN Trade Bait board du jour? That would be Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, but it depends on the Oilers’ plans in free agency.

For now, Nugent-Hopkins remains a valuable luxury at centre with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

But if the Oilers do indeed land left winger Milan Lucic, who visited Edmonton on Tuesday and got reacquainted with his old GM Chiarelli, then Taylor Hall will rocket to the top of the list.

Hall, 24, is Chiarelli's premier trade chip up front — aside from McDavid and Draisaitl. He presents the best opportunity to bring back a top-pairing defenceman the Oilers so desperately crave on the right side.
