Speaking on Daily Faceoff ( h/t Oilers Nation on X) on Sunday, Yaremchuk argued the Oilers should prioritize acquiring Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic instead of pursuing Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Marcus Pettersson, who has been frequently linked to Edmonton.

Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid has been suspended for three games after cross-checking Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland in the head.
