Oilers looking to move Hemsky and Whitney
Whitney, 30, is the mobile, offensive defenseman the Flyers crave, but he has been a healthy scratch recently. Hemsky, a 29-year-old winger, has thrice broken 65 points scoring in his NHL career, all with the Oilers.
Jeff Petry, 25, is also an intriguing name out of Edmonton. He’s younger, and more expensive than Whitney, but has a decent mix of size and footspeed. Plus, he’d be a solid No. 4 on a defense corps full of third pairing-type players.
The NHL trade deadline is April 3.
