Some Oilers trade ideas

that is not a deal the avs would be interested in

Let alone with retention

Even if avs were forced to trade Donskoi and could only get a 7th for the full contract, im sure they'd do that before retaining

I think Donskoi would be had and he would be a very valuable player for EDM who has always struggled getting quality depth players forever, there is no chance Col retains on him. They are a win now team and he is a good player. Moving him could work out so they could use the cap space elsewhere but the second you ask them to retain than the only reason they would even consider it is out the window.

I've seen Edmonton ACGMs flirt with something more than a 7th for Stalock, but at most Edmonton is getting a 7th. He's going to be on waivers along with a bunch of other goalies for free next season. A year off after a bout with covid has not made him a hot commodity.
