Was the Oilers trade deadline enough to get over the hump?
By Korbyn fowlow on March 13, 2026
The NHL trade deadline has come and gone but now that we have seen the Oilers new additions in defenseman Connor Murphy, Forwards Jason Dickenson and Colten Dach. We have started to get a sense of how these players play and can I just say I’m a big fan of all three players. I think they all bring aspects of the game the Oilers desperately needed especially in the defensive end.
But will these moves be enough to get to the job done to get the Stanley Cup. My answer is yes with the moves they have made and after beating both the Vegas Golden Knights and the Colorado Avalanche they are starting to beat good teams but after the game against the Avalanche they had three players go down and the biggest name being Connor Ingram. So other players are gonna have to step up if the Oilers are gonna make a push to the finals.
