Recent Rumors

Over the last week or so, there have been some whispers that the Boston Bruins might be willing to trade Milan Lucic. The right trade could be enough to patch one of the Oilers' holes, whether it's bringing in another depth forward or a young defenseman.

Conclusion

Lucic is a big, physical winger who can score goals and hit hard. He's also a proven winner, having won the Stanley Cup with the Bruins in 2011. If the Oilers can acquire Lucic, it would be a major coup for their franchise.
