Oilers consider trade for Ducks forward Cutter Gauthier

Summary

The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly exploring the possibility of acquiring forward Cutter Gauthier from the Anaheim Ducks. Gauthier, a restricted free agent, had an impressive season, scoring 41 goals and providing 28 assists in 76 games. With several offseason changes, the Oilers are looking to enhance their forward unit to complement stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
