I would hope that Holland would not agree to that trade. Edmonton and Boston are at opposite ends of the spectrum, so their relative needs are different. the Oilers are trying to build an organization that can compete for Stanley Cups, Boston is at the tail end of a very respectful run as a Stanley Cup contender, and they want to retain that competitiveness while rejuvenating their core.
Debate the relative value of Pastrnak and Draisaitl all you want, the points back and forth do not change the fact that the Oilers are built in a manner that results in this trade making them weaker up front. The McAvoy for Klefbom component would definitely be attractive to the Oilers, but I don't think so much so that Holland would move away from the core with which his strategy is based upon.
