The Edmonton Oilers are willing to trade anything except for captain Connor McDavid, sniper Leon Draisaitl and this year's first-round pick, according to TSN's Ryan Rishaug.
The Oilers lost again Wednesday night – 6-3 to the Carolina Hurricanes – falling to 5-12-1 on the season and 30th in the NHL.
"They're scrambling. Their season is very much in jeopardy," Rishaug told CTV News Edmonton.
"Everything is on the table: your second-round pick, your prospects, the players you have on your roster…What I believe is that Ken Holland can't do nothing in this situation."
The aforementioned general manager has already fired head coach Jay Woodcroft and assistant coach Dave Manson and sent his highest-paid goalie, Jack Campbell, to the minors.
The Oilers initially responded well, winning their first two games under new coach Kris Knoblauch but have since lost three straight, giving up 17 goals in that stretch.
Despite the disaster season so far, defenceman Mattias Ekholm told reporters he still cares deeply about turning things around and making the playoffs and said other guys do too.
