Oiler Fans what do you think

Wings can get. It's seperate so we should decline.

Neal costs a first as a dump
Lgd gets a 3rd+ 5th
Staal gets a 4th
Bernier gets a 2nd/3rd, especially retained

Oilers decline. We do not need any more D and cant even find room for the D we have.
Nurse/Barrie
Laggesson/Larsson

Neal's Buyout is only 1.9 and we certainly will not be giving a first for him. A first for 1.9 million is ridiculous.

Bernier would be nice to have, but we have Stalock who is pretty good and we will see what we have with him when he gets into the lineup.

Glendening is great on the face offs and is still pretty good. But is he really an upgrade over Khaira or Hass who both play the PK?

I have a alternate offer for you. Basically you are getting a year, and a half of Koskinen at 4.5M, 2 years and a half of Neal at 5.75M a late first, a late fourth, and Jones. Neals buyout at the start of next year is 1.9M for 4 years so it’s not a crazy one if you want to go down that road, also Koskinens buyout would be 2 years 1.5M if you want to buyout him. Glendening is a good fourth liner that is very good at winning face offs, Jonathan Bernier is a very good veteran goalie, that can split starts with Smith for this year. Essentially the first is for Koskinen, and Neal to get dumped to Detroit. Jones for Bernier as I don’t see him as a fit long term in Edmonton, and the fourth for Glendening. Anyway, how long is Bernier out for? I didn’t realize he was.



Mikko Koskinen, James Neal, 2021 first, 2021 fourth, Caleb Jones.



Jonathan Bernier, Luke Glendening

A 1st, 2nd and 3rd for some average to below average vets is ridiculous. I get that you have them taking Neal, but the Oilers will buyout Neal and take the small cap penalty before we trade a 1st to move him.

Oilers are getting a 2B goalie, which we don't need, a UFA 4C, which would be nice (but shouldn't cost much), and a 6/7 34 year old dman. Aside from Glendenning, there is nothing in this deal the Oilers want or even have room for on their roster. Would rather move a b prospect for Glendenning and buyout Neal and keep all of those picks. This deal makes zero sense for the Oilers and is just poor asset management.

Drop the 1st and that should do it.
