As the NHL trade deadline of March 6, 2026 approaches, Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman faces a familiar crisis: a tight salary cap, dire need for a reliable top-nine forward and a top-four defenseman, and the relentless pressure to maximize Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl’s window.

Nearly eight years after the infamous rebuild letter, New York Rangers GM Chris Drury released his own version on Friday, stating that the team will begin restructuring its roster, with popular, long-tenured players likely to be at the forefront of that move.
