Since losing Evander Kane to a gruesome wrist injury nearly a month ago, the Edmonton Oilers have reportedly been looking to add a player who can help replace the 30-year-old's offense, along with his physicality and edge. Unfortunately, those players are very few and far between in today’s NHL, making it a difficult task at hand for GM Ken Holland. With that said, there is one available player in particular who could be a great fit — Blackhawks forward Max Domi. The 27-year-old signed a one-year, $3 million deal with Chicago this summer, and is likely to be moved at, or prior to, the deadline.
Though Domi’s career has been filled with highs and lows thus far, he has proven that when given the chance to play with high-end skill, he can produce. That is the case this season, as he has an impressive nine goals and 19 points while at times playing on a line with Patrick Kane. With that production, paired with the Oilers' desire to add a player like him up front, the two sides have been linked as a potential match. Kevin Weekes, analyst and former NHL goaltender, seems to believe the fit between the two teams makes plenty of sense, and suggested just that when speaking with ESPN’s John Buccigross recently.
“Well here’s the thing, he (Domi) has impressed them, it’s been a nice fit for them in Chicago so far,” Weeks said. “There’s some thought that either he’s going to do an extension, or to your point, a contending team, a buyer, may want his services. Perhaps Edmonton.”
It is worth mentioning that Weekes isn’t the only credible insider who has mentioned Domi being on the move recently. Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli also listed him in his first top 20 trade targets article that was published last month. Despite Weekes saying an extension may be a possibility, public consensus seems to suggest it’s only a matter of time before a trade occurs.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
