We’ve got more NHL rumours<\/a> for you for your Tuesday. Teams are trying to adjust after slow starts and it may be time to panic for some. However, some teams are doing well with younger players that may be able to ship off aging talent to clear salary space. Today’s NHL rumours focus on the Edmonton Oilers<\/a>, Los Angeles Kings<\/a> and San Jose Sharks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All NHL rumours are taken from the original source and are subject to change.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumours<\/h2>\n

Edmonton Oilers<\/h3>\n

Rumour: Allan Mitchell of The Athletic\u00a0said the early performance<\/a> of young defencemen like Ethan Bear<\/a> <\/strong>and Joel Persson<\/a><\/strong> could allow general manager Ken Holland<\/a> to move older blueliners like Kris Russell<\/a> <\/strong>and Matt Benning<\/a> <\/strong>at the deadline.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

If Ethan Bear continues to play at a level that allows the Oilers to play him inside the top-four defencemen this season and beyond, it\u2019s a game-changer and offers management a great opportunity, writes @Lowetide<\/a>: https:\/\/t.co\/2GuCmNTDzz<\/a><\/p>\n
