If anything they need a D-man.
I think this is just Oilers media trying to generate clicks in the dog days of summer.

Exactly.
Also, Puljujarvi and Yamamoto have zero value to Chicago, as they would be late 20s before the Hawks come out of the rebuild. They want young prospects who will actually help the rebuild.
And Kane, retained, is the most valuable asset out there right now.
If the Oilers actually wanted to get this done, the assets that would interest the Hawks would be:
1) Bouchard
2) Holloway
3) 2023 1st
4) Broberg
I t would take at least 3 of those, or the first 2 at the very least.
And they would still have to find a way to create the space (i.e. send Puljujarvi and Yamamoto somewhere)
