Boston could use some right wing depth from a guy who is good in the playoffs. on a 1 year deal the price is low, but could be a good rental option for Boston and clears cap for the oilers

oilers need to free up some cap with this move, going to a team like the wild who could use a guy who can play in you bottom pair or 7th Dman makes sense for both teams because the price is low

If Athanasiou does NOT resign in Edmonton the pick turns into Detroit's 2nd rounder

This makes sense for both teams, Andreas is on the trade block, the cap swing is even. The Oilers add some RW depth, and offload that Brandon Manning contract. While detroit gets a very good D prospect in Bear who is not far from being an NHL player. The D core in Detroit is getting old and they need to refresh, a young D man that can score would be a good addition to their team and something the Oiler's would like to keep, but with Even Bouchard and Caleb Jones, they have a decent D prospect pool
