Oilers Acquire Henrique and Carrick from Ducks in Strategic Trade

In a move to bolster their roster, Edmonton trades for veterans ahead of the NHL deadline.

The Edmonton Oilers have acquired forwards Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick from the Anaheim Ducks in a trade involving undisclosed draft picks.
A third team is involved in the transaction, with salary retention being a key component of the deal.
Anaheim will receive the Oilers' first-round pick in 2024 and a conditional fifth for 2025, which could improve to a fourth if Edmonton wins the Stanley Cup this season.
Both Henrique and Carrick are set to become unrestricted free agents at the end of the season.
The Oilers are pursuing a Stanley Cup with stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, currently in second place in the Pacific Division.
