Holland isn’t trading JP unless it’s a steep over payment. Kerfoot is a decent 3c option but holland has been looking for a winger to pair with mcdavid that can fit under the cap. JP checks off every box holland is looking for above average skater, big frame, can protect pucks, good hockey sense, fairly accurate good shot. Time heals wounds holland knows this. With this sporting pause and a huge delay to start next year that’s more time for holland to fix the final big disaster charelli caused. This seems a lot more possible than trading Lucic... not only pulled that off but was able to send to biggest rival and get a 20 goal scorer with zero clauses attached to deal..I’m sorry but JP holds a TON of value to oilers and holland has no reason to rush to make a deal.
And for those that believe his value has dropped or the ask is insane and like to point out then why it hasn’t happened yet since he left there hasn’t even been a chance for holland to seriously do anything. JP was in Finland so a mid season or deadline deal was highly unlikely doesn’t make any sense for either side to do that’s a draft/offseason trade which we are nowhere near because of the shutdown.
