Oilers' Potential Acquisitions: Four Maple Leafs Players Edmonton Should Target to Bolster Their Roster

As the NHL trade deadline on March 6 approaches, the Edmonton Oilers are looking to bolster their roster for a deep playoff run. With the Toronto Maple Leafs potentially heading toward a sell-off, several players could be of interest to Edmonton. Here are four Maple Leafs players the Oilers should consider pursuing:

1. Bobby McMann: The name most frequently linked to the Oilers is winger Bobby McMann. The Alberta native is having a strong season, with 17 goals and 12 assists in 52 games. McMann's appeal lies in his speed, competitiveness, and affordability, with a cap hit of just $1.35 million. According to insiders Elliotte Friedman and Bob Stauffer, McMann would be a great fit for Edmonton. Stauffer believes that it would take a second-round pick and a prospect to acquire him. McMann is a pending unrestricted free agent, so the Leafs may want to trade him if they can't agree to an extension.

2. Matias Maccelli: While not as heavily linked as McMann, winger Matias Maccelli could be a player that balances the scale in getting the money to work in a trade between the Leafs and a suitor. Maccelli is in the final year of a contract that pays him $3.425M.

3. Calle Järnkrok: Järnkrok is a pending unrestricted free agent. He would likely bring back modest returns.

4. Troy Stecher: Like Järnkrok, Stecher is a pending unrestricted free agent who could be moved for a minimal return.
