You either retain some salary on Lucic or you add more for any team to say yes

Leafs like this trade

The right side D is a joke, you cant go into the year with that!

I agree with Skyraider.
Not enough to get Lucic gone.
Maybe offer something like:
EDM: Lucic + Puljujarvi + 1st 2019
Ott: Pageau + Harpur

OR GO FULL OUT (LOL):
EDM: Lucic + Puljujarvi + Russel + 1st 2019 (+Manning?)
Ott: Ryan + Pageau + Lajoie + Harpur

Why sign Tyler Ennis? Edmonton has to many small forwards - again! Forwars line up is terrible. No good centers.
The Larsson trade could work, but it ain´t beautiful. Why Gardiner? Is it a Leaf fan behind this nightmare result?

All because it's all they can afford, Edmonton is not a destination UFAs are flocking to - Gardnier simply cause he actually produces offence and passes out of the zone efficiently and accurately more often than not. Larsson is a total bust in Edmonton he is stay at home safe play Dman, Oilers struggle nightly getting pucks to there forwards. Ennis is speedy and hometown and better than any other depth forward they currently have

How and where exactly is Edmonton gonna get these "Good" Centers from? The team is a complete mess and unless RNH, Nurse, McDavid or Driasitle are being moved they have 0 players with Value that can actually bring in improvements. Don't be all edgy at an ACGM blame Chia he did this

So... you spend the 8th overall pick to get rid of Lucic, just to spend that money (and more) on a defenseman we don't need? That's a great idea!

LHD is literally the only position on strength on the team, we won't be signing more of them on the UFA market.

Yup, Leafs fan. Explains everything.

Ottawa is worse shape than EDM still need salary to hit cap floor and have 0 interest competitive hockey for 4 seasons, deal gets them back in the top 10 of the draft. Sure may need to add a prospect or 2/3rd rnd pick but deal could be had without Oilers retaining

So Edmonton signs thse players because of lack of money by bad management, and then signs Gardiner for 7 years. for 6,8 M$ each... I´m sorry, but your acknowledgement is thrown out of the window.
Ok by trading away Larsson they have J.Persson and Lagesson in the pipeline, but what about DO NOT sign Gardiner, and spend that money on two NHL wingers instead, if you ant to sign Ennis, sign him for less money, re-sign Chiasson, trade Puljujärvi for a 3C like Haula, add apick if neccesary. Wait for Benson, Marody, Gambardella to mature. That´s more... IQ-ness.
