NHL Rumours: Edmonton Oilers Looking to Acquire Habs Forward

According to reporter Frank Seravalli, the Edmonton Oilers have shown serious interest in acquiring Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach. The Oilers reportedly have a major need for a right-shot center, with rookie Owen Michaels being the only other right-shot center currently on their roster.

Dach signed a one-year contract with Montreal this offseason and is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year. The move would represent a homecoming for Dach, who grew up near Edmonton and whose younger brother, Colton Dach, is already on the Oilers' roster.
