In today’s NHL Rumors Rundown, the Edmonton Oilers are eyeing defensive upgrades, and two names have been linked to them as possible targets.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are signaling a soft sell, and the Vancouver Canucks have confirmed they’ve received an offer for a key veteran blueliner.
Things are picking up. Will there be any moves on Friday, as recent game results make it clear to teams whether they are buyers or sellers?
