Edmonton Oilers to Consider Bringing Back Two Former Players
This week, the Edmonton Oilers significantly enhanced their Stanley Cup chances by acquiring Corey Perry. However, they might consider making other acquisitions to solidify that status.
Potential Reunion with Two Former Oilers
Insider Chris Johnston suggests that we keep an eye on three key players, including two former Oilers, in the trade talks.
"Looking at any significant forward, it's reasonable to expect that EDM will be exploring those options," said @reporterchris on the CJ Show.
Johnston speculates on a few names, including Jake Guentzel, David Perron, and Jordan Eberle.

Eberle was drafted in the first round by the Oilers in 2008 and tallies 23 points in 46 games this season with the Kraken.
As for Perron, he played two seasons in Edmonton and currently has 21 points in 40 games with the Red Wings.
Another High-Profile Player to Join the Oilers?
Johnston also speculates that Jake Guentzel might be a target for the Oilers. While the team needs improvements in goaltending and defense, acquiring Guentzel would substantially enhance their offensive lineup.
With 47 points in 44 games this season, playing alongside Sidney Crosby, Guentzel's addition could make the Oilers a formidable force in the Western Conference.
