McKenzie: Oilers eyeing Blues' Berglund, Flyers' Schenn
/Bob McKenzie was on NBCSN on Wednesday evening
On in what scenario Patrik Berglund would head to the Oilers via trade:
“Yeah, see, that’s a tough fit. Because, I mean, If David Perron is one of the chips you’re using – David Perron, that’s where they got him from - St. Louis. St. Louis does not want David Perron back. So Patrik Berglund is a guy that has been identified by the Edmonton Oilers as somebody that they would like. They’ve also got their eye on a guy that we’ll see in our game tonight – Brayden Schenn – who plays left wing for the Philadelphia Flyers, but could easily go back to his natural position of centre.
“The question then becomes is there a fit with these teams for those players and do they want to give them up. I think Patrik Berglund is a marketable asset for the St. Louis Blues at this point. I’m not convinced that Ron Hextall and the Philadelphia Flyers necessarily want to give up Brayden Schenn.”
