Trade Rumor: Two teams could swap star players.

With both the Edmonton Oilers and Boston Bruins finished up disappointing campaigns and this has the trade rumor mill spinning once again. With the Oilers winning the draft lottery, this has further fuelled speculation that there are big changes in Edmonton. Their recent hiring of former Hockey Canada honcho Bob Nicholson as CEO and former Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli as GM and president of hockey operations provides further speculation of major off-season moves for the Oilers. Joe Haggerty of CSNNE noted these big changes and he believes that Oilers top-line wingers Taylor Hall or Jordan Eberle could be available for trade. He feels the Bruins should consider offering up power forward Milan Lucic for Hall or Eberle. Prior to the lottery, former Oilers GM Craig MacTavish reportedly told Hall, Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins they won’t be dealt, but with his replacement, that could soon change. Lucic on the other hand is coming off a down year and is a UFA next summer. Haggerty feels Edmonton could be just the place where he could land a big payday. The Oilers are also lacking size up front and could use a player of Lucic's particular skill-set. However, whether the Oilers would be willing to give up a core asset for a player who could bolt after one season has yet to be seen, but should the trade happen and Lucic play decently, he could be re-signed to the big money he is used to. Could a trade like this benefit both teams?
