Larsson and 14th OA for Dumba, we're keeping Nuge 4EVER

I don’t think this makes the Oilers better...

Just from the top 6 change? The bottom 6, top pair D and goaltending is definitely better. Definitely more balanced imo.

Fair, I'd love that. Would just need to find somewhere to dump a little cap if so.

I think Dumba is getting overrated a lot right now and it scares me from a Flames POV - Nuge and a *healthy Larsson is better than Kahun and Dumba...

If Larsson stayed healthy, I take your point. However, I have little faith in Larsson staying healthy enough at this point to make this final year of his contract worth much.

Kunin is a really good longterm RH 3C option (Bozak in this scenario would be nice just because he is so strong on the dot, while Kunin is only average rn).

As far as Dumba, many Minny players had an off year. His arrows overall still point to top pair RH D-man (as he was the two years prior, definitively), which this team has not had in forever, and still will not have for at least 2 more seasons before Bouchard/Bear are at that point.

Overall, I think the positives outweigh RNH (and his impending free agency and likely 7-8m$/year contract), by just a bit.

Pass from the blues. They lose a draft pick for 2 assets they're not going to use and you want them to retain?
