Kraken Rumors: 2 Pacific Division Teams Interested In Jordan Eberle
The Seattle Kraken's Jordan Eberle has emerged as a significant target for both the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights with the NHL trade deadline less than a week away.
Eberle, a seasoned winger with a strong track record, including eight 20-goal seasons, is drawing interest due to his continued ability to contribute offensively and his potential fit within these teams' top-six forward groups.
The Edmonton Oilers, in particular, have expressed keen interest in reuniting with Eberle, who previously played for them from 2010 to 2017.

Oilers' general manager Ken Holland is reported to be looking to bolster the team's offensive capabilities by adding an impact forward who can complement stars like Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl.
Eberle, known for his scoring ability and two-way play, fits this bill perfectly. Speculation suggests that Eberle could greatly enhance the Oilers' second unit, potentially boosting their playoff aspirations.
The Oilers are not the only team in the hunt, as the trade market heats up with multiple teams, including the Vegas Golden Knights, showing interest in top players.
