The Edmonton Oilers have every reason to go all-in at the trade deadline this season to assist their contending team, and one option could be a two-player deal with the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Blackhawks are at the bottom of the Central Division at 16-31-5, the second-worst mark in the Western Conference. Edmonton is in a much better spot as it holds the lead in the Pacific Division and is looking to complete a sweep on a back-to-back that started with a 3-2 overtime win over the Blues in St. Louis to get to 33-16-4.
