RUMOUR: Erik Karlsson an Oiler?

I was recently watching this YouTube video and on the spur of the moment found a great blog topic to do. Is there a plausible trade of Erik Karlsson to the Oilers? Yes, a plausible one – but whether it actually happens is another story.

If you’ve watched the video already, you’d know the Hurricanes are reportedly dealing Brett Pesce to San Jose in some sort of trade involving Erik Karlsson, but there’s going to be a third team involved. Could that team be the Oilers? That’s the million dollar question.

Here’s how I see this playing out:

Let’s see what the benefits of this are for all three teams.
