It’s safe to say trade season has officially begun. After the Carolina Hurricanes, Colorado Avalanche, and Chicago Blackhawks made arguably the biggest

The improvement in scoring at five-on-five (by far the largest game state) represents a major positive shift for the Oilers in 2024-25. The coaching staff is trying to suppress opposition offence while making certain the elite talent on the Oilers can wheel.
