Rumors of a blockbuster trade between the Avalanche and Oilers!
NHL

We have an absolutely shocking rumor coming from the National Hockey League's NHL Network.

According to a report from NHL Network Analyst Brian Lawton, he is currently working on two trade rumors, however the one that has us truly stunned is an apparent trade rumor between the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche. 

Lawton reports that there is a trade rumor involving Oilers star forward Leon Draisaitl and Avalanche star forward Matt Duchene, a deal that would be a blockbuster regardless of what other pieces would be involved in that trade.

While Oilers fans may be stunned at the prospect of losing Draisaitl, this deal actually isn't that insane when you consider how much cheaper Duchene would be than the rumored contract Draisaitl is set to earn from the Oilers.

The additional cap space could be incredibly valuable to Oilers management, although what they would be looking to do with it is entirely unclear at this time. Stay tuned for more details on this trade rumor.
