Oilers and Islanders Eye Same Speedy $65 Million Wing

The market is tightening around one winger, and now Edmonton and the Islanders are both circling like they know the cost will not be cheap. Speed sells in this league, especially when a player carries that kind of cap hit and can change how a lineup skates. The real question is which front office blinks first when the bidding gets uncomfortable. Once the table gets crowded, these talks have a habit of turning into a test of nerve as much as talent evaluation.
