The Edmonton Oilers, facing disappointment after two consecutive losses in the Stanley Cup Final, are actively exploring roster improvements this offseason. With an eye on enhancing their scoring capability, the Oilers are reportedly interested in acquiring Jonathan Marchessault from the Nashville Predators. Marchessault, an All-Star forward, is coming off a less-than-stellar season with just 21 goals and 35 assists. His fit with the Predators has been questioned, prompting speculation about a potential trade.

With a $5.5 million cap hit over the next four years, Marchessault would add significant offensive depth and championship experience to Edmonton's lineup, having previously won the Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights. However, the key factor remains whether he would be willing to waive his no-movement clause. Teams like Ottawa and Toronto have also demonstrated interest in the forward, but the Oilers seem poised to make a strong push for his services.
