Edmonton doesn't really have any cap space for that move (assuming Buchnevich gets somewhere above 3.5 million, which he will.). Either way Edmonton probably turns that down

I don't think that would get you Nuge if only because the Oilers couldn't move him. If they move him Draisaitl has to become a 2C and now McDavid needs a winger and they have no depth.

I doubt Edmonton would accept it either, just thought it was interesting.



In this case I think Vlad would take Mcdavid's wing (he proved to play pretty well with elite talent in Tampa) and Buch could take a spot on Leon's wing on the second line, but who knows

I don't know how it works, but I don't know if you're able to trade that 2nd since it will most likely be sent to Carolina once Fox hits 30 games next season.

Totally forgot that, you're right. Would have to be a 2021 pick
