LeBrun: Flyers, Jackets could be fit for Oilers on trade front

Pierre LeBrun was on Winnipeg’s TSN 1200 on Friday afternoon.

On the Edmonton Oilers and which changes may be afoot to get this team headed in the right direction:

“Well, I mean, they’ve been talking to a number of teams. The Columbus part of it obviously is out there. Philadelphia could be an interesting partner with the Flyers losing again today. And by the way, I watched that game and they looked terrible. And I just wonder how long GM Ron Hextall is just going to accept that. He kind of reamed them out recently. There was a players-only meeting and I’ll tell you, I’m not sure the last time I saw the Flyers play a worse game than they did today in that 3-0 loss to the Rangers. So who knows? Between the Flyers and the Jackets, is there a fit there for Edmonton? There has certainly been talk.

“And this is quite the crossroads moments, I think, for Craig MacTavish in Edmonton because there’s certainly more than one hole in the dam to fix. But not much room for error. This team needs help on defense. It needs help at centre. And more than anything, it needs help in goal. So there’s a lot to do, and can’t afford any more mistakes at this point.”
