Lots of interest in the Oilers prospects. William Lagesson is unheralded. The lanky left hand shooting Swedish defenceman has been percolating away in the Oilers farm system for three years now.

This is his last waiver eligible season. The Oilers need to determine if he's a player for them or an asset to trade for a different player. There's some planning to that decision

Darnell Nurse's contract for next season and beyond. Are the Oilers interested in paying Nurse $6M+ per for 7 years? is Lagesson a replacement. What would Nurse return in a trade?

A Nurse trade that brings a top-six winger plus Lagesson contract for less than $6 M per may be a viable option. IF Lagesson can play.

Agree, the second line with Nudge centring James Neal and Sam Gagner has serious potential to be had on possession. It is time though fo Nudge to be given a couple of wingers who can skate and think the game as he does. Not sure there are any in camp. https://lowetide.ca/2019/09/14/first-blush/
