Further trades not imminent for Oilers

Jeff Petry could be the next Oiler to be dealt.

Despite trading forward David Perron on Friday, the Edmonton Oilers are not preparing for a fire sale.

According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, it doesn’t appear that any further big moves are imminent.

Friedman said trade talks should amp up in the next couple of weeks and the name to watch is defenceman Jeff Petry, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent following the 2014-15 season.

Petry, 27, has three goals, five assists, and 20 penalty minutes in 38 games this season. He has been with the Oilers’ organization since they drafted him the second round (45th overall) of the 2006 NHL Draft.
