The Edmonton Oilers are looking to make a big splash at the NHL trade deadline, and GM Stan Bowman will be looking to leave his mark on the team. That said, the Edmonton Oilers are currently facing off against the St. Louis Blues, and an intriguing list has emerged of potential trade candidates from the "Show Me" state.
According to Oilers Nation, will the Blues wave the white flag before the March 7 trade deadline? That remains to be seen. But if they decide to sell, the Edmonton Oilers could find some intriguing targets in St. Louis. Let's break them down.
Radek Faksa
Looking to bolster the bottom six? Radek Faksa could be your guy. In his first year with the Blues, Faksa has posted three goals and 10 points. His career-best season came back in 2017-18, with 17 goals and 33 points.

Oskar Sundqvist
Right-shot centers are always in demand, and Oskar Sundqvist fits the bill. While his offensive numbers are underwhelming-three goals and nine points in 39 games-Sundqvist's experience shines.

Cam Fowler
Cam Fowler may have found some footing in St. Louis after joining via trade earlier this season, but could he be on the move again? The left-shot defenseman has been productive, with five goals and 13 points in 23 games for the Blues.

Colton Parayko

Ryan Suter
Want to lean into Edmonton's «veteran team» identity? Enter Ryan Suter, the league's oldest active skater at 40. With one goal and nine points in 53 games, he's not here to light up the scoreboard.

Jordan Binnington
Goaltending is Edmonton's Achilles' heel, and Jordan Binnington could be the answer. While his .898 save percentage in 37 games this year is underwhelming, don't forget the magic he brought in 2018-19, backstopping the Blues to an unlikely Stanley Cup victory.
