Oilers organization is on a full court press to find help at forward. Scouts and staff deployed en masse. Cap situation could make it tough, but first round pick, a goaltender, maybe a young developing forward likely all in play.

Inside the Nation: more line juggling, a big trade looming, and Chiarelli’s demise
Jan 14, 2019, 17:10 ESTUpdated: Jan 14, 2019, 17:11 EST
Welcome back to another episode of Inside The Nation! A Facebook live video series where Dustin Nielson breaks down all the latest, juicy, Oilers gossip and answers all of YOUR questions.
Oilersnation has been one wild place to be the last couple weeks and ever since Rishaug tweeted that a blockbuster trade may be around the corner (see below), things are getting even crazier.
Dusty breaks down his thoughts on what this could mean for the Oilers and whether it’s in our best interest or not to have Peter Chiarelli, himself, making this trade on behalf of the Oilers. We all know his time as a General Manager is coming to an end soon so he’s obviously willing to do something big to try to save his job. Please pray for us all.
What Ryan Rishaug is insinuating here is that Jesse Puljujarvi is likely going to be packaged for something. At least that’s what Dusty thinks. Nielson also breaks down the most recent line combinations that Hitchcock has pieced together for the game tonight. As Dusty says, Hitchcock has been line juggling way more than McLellan was, and we hated the amount of line juggling that McLellan did!
As always on Mondays, Dustin Nielson gave away a three pack sauce sampler from Get Sauced to one lucky person who participated in his trivia question. For your chance to win something, be sure to watch the show and comment live! Dusty ended the video with his most important question of the day which was: Which young talent are the Oilers most likely to trade: Puljujarvi or Yamamoto?
Who do you guys think they would trade? Watch the video below to find out what Dusty thinks!
