2022-23 Oilers

Dump Kassian and a sweetener for a bag of pucks.

Man, Barrie's contract is awful. Like seriously. Love Barrie, great guy. But who would ever think to trade for this contract? Beats me. Regardless, get rid of this contract in any way possible. I'd be willing to give up more than just a 5th to dump this contract, and I'd be fine with receiving far less to do so.

Certainly a price to pay for a player like Sanheim, but well worth it, in my opinion. Oilers are in desperate need of stability on their left side defence if they want to make it anywhere. Keith hasn't been bad as of recently, but is not a solid option long term. Flyers get two solid forward prospects and a decent defensive prospect to hopefully make them feel better after that terrible return for Giroux.

This entire mock up is based around Keith retiring. So don't think of this as a trade but, rather, his retirement. And hey, maybe Smith wants to tag along? Great.

Foegele is expendable at this point, and makes too much $$$ for what he brings. A team like Boston, or any team who wants to inject a bit of skill into their bottom six, could get him for cheap.
