Edmonton Oilers fans are eager for a trade to enhance their defense and speed, especially after recent player losses. Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings facilitated a trade sending Olli Maatta to the Utah Hockey Club.

In a significant move, the San Jose Sharks acquired Timothy Liljegren from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for draft picks and Matt Benning. This trade strengthens the Sharks' defense, while Benning, now on his fourth NHL team, aims to regain his form.
