Note: I highly disagree with the idea of trading Adam Larsson, this is something that Toronto fans / media speculate on frequently so I thought I'd see how it could play out for Edmonton. Larsson was a beast in the playoffs the only time we made it, seems to me the Leafs need this sort of player.

I've clearly overpaid Stralman, he didn't have a great year last season but I need to convince him to come to Edmonton on a 1-year term, so the money is warrented IMO. Stralman is a clear downgrade defensively, but I'm hoping to land an upgrade next summer in the form of Alex Pietrangelo. I'll post next year's mock later.

I've picked up Burakovsky on a few of my AGM's, as mentioned below I don't think this exact trade would work but I think both players have similar value. Basically Benning leaves and Bura arrives with no other roster players involved - the picks/prospects acquired for Benning will roughly equate to the picks/prospects sent to Washington. If Burakovsky won't sign for less than the $3.25M QO, two thing happen: we send less to Washington in the trade, and we extend the term. Sounds counter-intuitive I know, but if he's going to get the opportunity to play with McDavid I'm not offering a 1-year contract just to go through the hassle (never mind the inevitable raise) next summer. It's either a $2M x 2 deal or $3.25M x 4.
