McKenzie thinks Oilers will move "significant names"
/Bob McKenzie was on Toronto’s TSN 1050 on Monday afternoon.
On what’s next for the Oilers:
“I think this is what’s happened over the last 24 hours and will continue to - I think we're going to see some trades. And I think we're going to see some significant names moved around. I think outside of Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, anybody and everybody could be flying out the door."
On this being a huge change in philosophy for a team that thought it could dig its way out of this:
“I think they have to now. It’s absolutely essential that - whether it’s a Jordan Eberle or Nail Yakupov or somebody else – Justin Schultz - whatever. Some of those bodies need to be moved and parlayed into different pieces that address the specific weaknesses of the team as it exists.”
