I expect the trade request rumblings to start around the deadline this year.

Staples has Joakim Nygard pencilled in as the Oilers second line left winger. I have never even heard of this player before, but upon inspection of his hockeydb page it says that he is 26-years-old, and has played six years in the second-tier SweHL. Nygard finished second in the League last year in goals just ahead of Oscar Moller. Derek Roy was second in League scoring; Nygard did not make the top-ten.
Staples also has someone named Gaetan Haas pencilled in as the Oilers #3 centre. This guy is also 26-years-old, and has told the past decade in the Swiss-A League. Last year he was second in scoring on his team in Bern, behind famous former NHLer Mark Arcobello. He also did not rank among the top-ten scorers in the Swiss-A League.
