Speculation is growing about Marc-Andre Fleury's possible shift to a Canadian team eyeing a playoff push.
NHL insiders suggest the Minnesota Wild is considering trading Fleury, and the Edmonton Oilers, led by GM Ken Holland, are reportedly interested.
As the trade deadline approaches post-All-Star break, multiple teams are expected to vie for the former Stanley Cup champion.
The Oilers, grappling with goaltending issues and coaching staff changes this season, see Fleury as a potential solution with his experience and skills.
While Stuart Skinner has been consistent, the Oilers lack a reliable backup, and Fleury could fill that void.
However, acquiring him may demand sacrificing crucial assets. With Corey Perry already added to strengthen the lineup, the Oilers aim to fortify their roster for what could be Holland's final playoff run as the team's GM.
