Report: Oilers GM 'very eager' to trade for center, 'no one is off limits' in talks
Terry Nelson / USA TODAY Sports
The Edmonton Oilers are looking for a top center to bolster their top six, and a source tells TSN's Darren Dreger that no one on the team is immune from being dealt.
Word from eastern teams: MacTavish is very eager to land a center. Source says "no one is off limits." Normal procedure to get talks going.

While Dreger calls it normal procedure, it's still notable that the Oilers are, at least initially, willing to consider dealing every player on the roster.
David Perron is one such player who is reportedly being dangled in talks.
The Oilers are in the midst of a four-game losing streak. Their latest defeat - a 7-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday - ended with players being mercilessly booed off the ice.
