Oilers target Jake DeBrusk amid trade speculation from Canucks
Summary

The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly interested in acquiring Vancouver Canucks winger Jake DeBrusk, who has a $38.5 million contract with five years remaining.

His full no-movement clause complicates matters, although reports suggest he would consider waiving it to join a contender like Edmonton. Discussions around DeBrusk's future come as the Canucks are restructuring their team after a disappointing season.
