Craig MacTavish says his No 1 trade target, for sure, would be another defenceman.

The Oilers are in the giant-sized pickle because of what happened seven or eight months ago , in free agency and farther along, says TSN commentator and former Calgary GM Craig Button .

Button says the Oilers miss Warren Foegele , Ryan McLeod and Dylan Holloway , and let them get away.

Leon Draisaitl has 88 points, 44 goals, 11 more snipes than anybody else, remarkable stats with rotating cast of linemates.

Evander Kane ’s complete no-trade clause ends at midnight Friday , becoming modified to 16 teams.

Evan Bouchard and Matt Ekholm are n’t the rock-solid pairing they were last season .
