Could the soon Oilers make a trade with an Original 6 squad?

Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland has had a moderately busy offseason, bringing aboard the likes of goaltender Jack Campbell to replace the veteran Mike Smith who is now on the team's LTIR list as well as depth forward Mattias Janmark. Ironically, the latter was originally traded by Holland in 2015 while with the Detroit Red Wings in the short-sighted deal that sent veteran Eric Cole back to the Motor City. 

However, with Edmonton's current cap situation that also included re-signing forward Evander Kane to a four year deal after his highly productive short stint with the Oilers last season, they have exactly zero dollars to spend moving forward. Could Holland look to shed an asset in order to gain some salary cap relief? Don't be surprised. 

According to Montreal Hockey Now, a potential salary cap victim of the Oilers could come in the form of forward Jesse Puljujärvi, who agreed to one-year, $3 million contract earlier this offseason. Could the Montreal Canadiens come calling? Take a look at their reasoning below: 

"Staples listed the Canadiens (‘depending on what happens with Carey Price’), as a potential NHL trade suitor for Puljujärvi, as well as the Arizona Coyotes, Buffalo Sabres, Anaheim Ducks, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Winnipeg Jets, and Ottawa Senators.

The read here is that if Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes or any other NHL GM are still interested in Puljujärvi, they would be better off to waiting it out until training camp because Holland will feel the weight of the salary cap even more then. Instead of a second round pick for Puljujärvi on the NHL trade market, Holland may have to settle for that third to fifth round range at that point."

 Could Holland be enticed into sending Puljujärvi to the Eastern Conference?
