Edmonton OIlers GM Peter Chiarelli is now saying the team will likely do nothing major this off-season. Really? David Staples and Bruce McCurdy dig in, looking at moves Chiarelli actually does need to make, such as finding another winger or two, and the coaching staff needs to make, including getting the most out of Jesse Puljujarvi.

This in from Craig Button of TSN, his take on whom the Oilers will be able to draft at the 10th overall spot.

Right shot d-men Noah Dobson and Evan Bouchard will likely be gone by the time the Oilers draft, Button said. “You can look at Adam Boqvist, the dynamic Swedish defenceman, but if you don’t go that, I think that Oliver Wahlstrom is the best goal scorer in the draft and what that mean lining up on the right flank of Connor McDavid? You’re talking about a guy that could be a 50 goal scorer.”

Wahlstrom is physically and mentally mature and could be close to playing in the NHL, Button said.
