Oliver Ekman-Larsson trade down to two teams!?
The Oliver Ekman-Larsson sweepstakes are in full force in Arizona right now and according to one of the best hockey insiders in the world, it's coming down to two teams.

Ekman-Larsson's list (for now) is believed to include BOS & VAN. Things can always change.
While we highlighted the Vancouver rumors earlier this week, they hardly have a chance to land OEL as they don't own first or second round picks this year. All Arizona really wants is draft picks and prospects, so Boston certainly has a huge advantage at this point.
Boston's offer is rumored to be their 2nd-rounder in 2020, 1st-rounder in 2021 and RHD Jeremy Lauzon. The Coyotes are also interested in LHD prospect and former first-rounder Urho Vaakanainen, who had a solid campaign in the AHL and found his way into 5 games with the Bruins this season.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson has the keys to his future with a full no-move clause and right now, he's only interested in playing for either the Bruins or Canucks. Yes, that could change as more teams get serious with their offers, but for now, the OEL battle is a rematch of the Cup finals in 2011.
