“I do not believe the Oilers are done. The NHL trade deadline is Friday. I could possibly see as many as two more trades. OK? It could be zero. But it could be two. You may see a guy get moved out, which creates the flexibility to bring in something else. Time will tell in that regard.”

Said the Journal’s Jim Matheson: “If Oilers are in on (Toronto Maple Leafs centre) Nic Roy as Bob Stauffer says I’m for it. Cup winner, big body, right shot, and some offence… Nic Roy has another year at $3m after this one so will cost more in acquisition. Bowman likes players with time left. Lots of playoff games vs Oilers.”

1. Stauffer works for the Oilers and reports more inside info with greater accuracy than everyone else combined. He’s talked about the Oilers maybe moving for a third line centre. Perhaps that’s the next target, though I’m OK with Samanski as the third line centre, considering how much in assets it will take for the Oilers to trade away Andrew Mangiapane on his $3.6 million per year deal, and to bring in another forward.

2. I’d prefer one more small move, with another rugged, checking winger brought in to help out on the fourth line.
