Denver Barkey is on the board.

After some early pressure by the Oilers, it was Barkey who settled things down and opened the scoring in Edmonton.
The 20-year-old winger started the breakout in his own end and dashed down the c...

The Nashville Predators aren't advertising a fire sale at the moment like they may have been earlier in the season, but they have moved out Spencer Stastney to the Edmonton Oilers ard have more players to trade, whether they're standing pat or selling. Steven Stamkos has been one of the names heavily in trade rumors since last season. His contract isn't ideal and he has trade protection, so a trade would have to go through him. He has won two Stanley Cups, but that doesn't mean he isn't trying...
