The Edmonton Oilers are off to a strong start in the 2026-27 NHL season, winning eight of their first ten games. As they aim for the Stanley Cup, young forward Isaac Howard has been mentioned as a potential trade candidate due to his limited role. After joining the team last summer from the Tampa Bay Lightning, Howard has struggled to secure a top-six position, now finding himself on the fourth line or as a healthy scratch. With injured players returning, the Oilers may look to trade Howard, who could attract interest from teams like the Calgary Flames and Chicago Blackhawks, both seeking young talent.

- •Isaac Howard has seen limited playing time this season.
- •Calgary Flames and Chicago Blackhawks are potential trade partners.
