This would be a stupid move by the Oilers.

EDM should take Nail 1st and enjoy having a superstar for the next 7 seasons atleast.

If they want Murray they can pbbly have him at 4th or 5th, so if they do trade down why not trade down further and get a better package and still get Murray.

Edmonton flipping picks with Columbus doesn't make much sense. I can see Howson wanting to trade to get the 1st and 2nd overall picks but if Edmonton wants Murray that bad, Howson would make Edmonton draft him.

The source isn't that reliable either. I'd take Howson and or Stauffer over Kelly Friesen.

So Edmonton gets their future captain in Ryan Murray, and their Trevor Linden/Brendan Morrow heart and soul leader type in Boone Jenner and Columbus gets a Russian that they've had no luck with, and a diminutive third line Swede? :blink:

For those of us who don't show as much interest in 17 year old boys, is Yapukov supposed to be the clear cut number 1? Or is the gap small?

Why not offer Hall to CBJ for the 2nd? Yakupov's gonna be better than Hall, CBJ gets their young star forward without having to worry about the "Russian Factor" (not that they should be anyway, but they have had bad luck with 'em), and EDM gets their stud d-man while keeping their superstar forward core.
