Oilers Eye Rielly Trade

Edmonton Oilers eyeing a major defensive upgrade this offseason, with veteran Morgan Rielly from Toronto Maple Leafs emerging as a top target. Rielly, whose contract expires in 2030 and carries a hefty cap hit, may be open to a move after a rough season. Insider Allan Mitchell suggests Rielly could slot perfectly on Edmonton’s second pairing alongside Connor Murphy, praising his skating and puck distribution skills—even at 32. A potential trade could involve sending Darnell Nurse to Toronto, though other assets would likely be needed to balance the deal. While nothing’s confirmed, this developing storyline signals the Oilers are seriously considering a big defensive move this summer.
