I doubt that either Petry or the Oilers have much interest in one another. If moved, the player would probably prefer to head back to the US and that is just fine. The Oilers have to continue looking for players that provide what the team needs and who want to be part of the organization.
Most teams in Ottawa's situation might seriously consider taking Turris's contract for the rest of the year. They can bury most of his AAV and get a late draft pick for next to nothing. That kind of thinking is incompatible with the manner in which the Senators seem to operate. Its also why the Oilers probably have that kind of trade further down on their list of priorities right now.
Unless Doug Wilson is feeling particularly charitable toward Ken Holland, there really isn't any motivation for the Sharks to help the Oilers out. Both Reimer and Koskinen trade lists that place some restraint on their respective GMs. San Jose enjoys a much nice climate and friendlier tax regime than Edmonton, Reimer is 33 and probably resolved to the reality that he is not going to get a shot at a championship in his remaining years in the league, why would he accept a move to Edmonton? Koskinen is also 33 and probably pretty worried about his next contract. He's going to want an opportunity to showcase himself, and the Sharks simply aren't a very good team this season. Why would he want to go to San Jose? Besides, Reimer is under contract for one more season, and San Jose really likes to hang onto their aging assets beyond their best before dates.
