Lopsided in Oilers favor imo. I feel those 3 players on expiring contracts with salary retention should net those 3 picks without taking back bad players with term. Giving up all 3 of those players Id be asking for Broberg/Holloway.

Kane could be a big help.

Two and a half months ago almost everyone was expecting a bottom 10 finish, some even a bottom 5 one. Now after more than a third of the season we still are an above .500 team. To be outclassed against a top team in the league with the little depth we have is not unexpected and not worrysome at all. They are riding the "wave of success" as long as it may go but I have the feeling SY never intended to do anything else than tanking, otherwise he would have tried to trade for upgrades. The more I see of our defense, the more I see the need to go for Zadorov in the offseason. He would be an impact player on D not point wise but with his physicality. Up front Vrana´s return in about 6-7 weeks will be another impact player. That will only leave the 2C spot open. Edvinsson Seider Bert Larkin Raymond Zadorov Hronek Vrana ? Zadina/Berg/Fabbri enough prospects Zadina,Berg,Fabbri,Suter,Ras,Veleno,Namestikov?,Erne,+ as bottom 6 If Ed is adjusting as fast as Mo we could be a serious playoff contender next year.

Zberg says Yzerman probably would have taken Raymond #1 overall https://hockeysverige-se.translate.goog/2021/12/11/henrik-zetterberg-hyllar-lucas-raymond-smatt-sensationell?_x_tr_sl=sv&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US
