jesus. 1 year 7.5 for gards? why? way way way too much. also i feel like oilers do that deal and win that deal at the same time?

Interesting. Compared to the trade I proposed you take off the 1.5 mil I proposed retained on Vatanen and added the 3.15 mil of Gagner. I think that is a good change. Gagner is a nice complementary bottom 6 player but the Oil just signed Archibald, Granlund and Nygard who should all be similarly capable this season, so I think it makes sense that Gagner goes.

EDIT: whoops didn't notice Benning was not included in yours. Still, between Benning and the 1.5 mi retention coming off Vatanen I still would rather send Gagner.

oilers def win that deal imo
