These trades help both sides and aren’t going to tilt the scales materially but help both sides in their needs. They aren’t trading Poolparty in their division, but if they can improve their team by giving up late picks and we improve our long term chances w little cost it makes sense on both sides. makes logical sense, but i think the optics of a divisional trade right now are not good in Edmonton. I could see them making similar moves with a team out east tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Keenan trading Bobby Lou to us, and then getting fired a short while after. If an owner is considering firing his GM, maybe it would be a good idea to not allow that - lame duck - GM to sign any contracts or make any trades?

Rush17 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I love the part where bob Nicholson said I think we are more skilled/deep then on day 1. Sure Bob.. whatever you got to tell yourself. Edmonton us either going to get fleeced again or they're going to fail to make any impactful moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a trade like: Draisatl + Lucic for Ferland (extension in place, of course)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Draisatl worth a top five pick? The Oilers should trade Draisatl now (for a first and more) to a team that is going to finish at or near the bottom. LA? Then they should just tank. They would have (likely) two top 5 picks in the coming draft. They could take that Kakko kid, and the top D man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Moving draisatl is probably their best and only move. Unless they buyout some guys and dump salary. Add 3 quality UFAs this team could be pretty good. Add a top 4 D + 2 top 6 forwards your good. Silverberg + forward + D They need to fix their cap issues because it makes any changes near impossible.

Zigmund.Palffy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Maybe Edmonton needs to start playing NHL 19 and see what trades can other teams approve with them. Because certainley no on wants garbarge besides McDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not giving up on the playoffs this year and entering a re-build again...........they would lose half their fan base. They might trade Draisaitl but I really doubt they would be looking for anything other than NHL ready players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same scouting department that told Sweeney to pick Zboril, DeBrusk and Shenyshen. The DeBrusk pick was OK but they had a boatload of talent to choose from and went with Zboril and Shenyshyn.

However, LD makes a lot on the Cap doesn't he? The Kings are clearly in tank mode, and the Oilers want to win now. I think this would be a good trade for both teams. The Kings could get a young future star forward, while the Oilers get a stud D man for the now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
