The Edmonton Oilers acquired three new defencemen, including one Connor McDavid once called "classless," while swapping out two blue-liners and a forward over a pair of trades on Sunday. Manning has a contentious history with the Oilers, dating back to his hit on McDavid in 2015 that resulted in a broken collarbone for the then-rookie. Caggiula had spent his entire three-year career with the Oilers, accruing 27 goals and 22 assists since debuting in the 2016-17 season. Wideman on the move — againPetrovic, 26 has one assist in 26 games with Florida this season. Wideman, 28, has two assists through five games with the Oilers this season since he was traded to Edmonton from the Ottawa Senators last month.
