Edmonton Oilers reportedly targeting Matt Rempe in trade rumors

The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly exploring trade options to increase the size and physicality of their forward group. According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, Oilers head coach Mike Babcock has requested more brawn and toughness to make the team harder to play against.

New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe, a 6-foot-9, 270-pound player, has emerged as a potential target. While Rempe has seen limited ice time with the Rangers, he is viewed as an affordable asset that could potentially be acquired for a mid-round draft pick. General manager Stan Bowman is reportedly scanning the market for larger players to complement the team's core stars.
