I really do think that.It would have been almost unthinkable to trade a piece like Taylor Hall at the start of the year, but it appears that MacTavish is willing to move anyone and everyone for the right price. It's not just the Blues and Canadians knocking at the Oilers door either, teams rumored to be in the mix and the players they are willing to move include: Toronto Maple Leafs: Nazim Kadri, Joffrey Lupul Philadelphia Flyers: Brayden Coburn, Brayden Schenn Detroit Red Wings: Stephen Weiss, Johan Franzen, Jakub Kindl, Daniel Cleary Those are just the teams we have heard rumors about, there are likely many more teams involved which is surprising considering the rumors surrounding the salary cap next season.
