Erickson Ek is fantastic defensively, no way he sits in the press box. Given the roster you've laid out above, Bjugstad would sit while Ek played 4C on a line that would be really annoying for teams to play against.

IF they traded Dumba, Soucy would slot up to the 2nd pair right side like he did for a bit last season. He played fine on the right side opposite Brodin.

Not even close. Starts with Fiala.

I would much rather have Dumba over Fiala. Either way though, Im not trading Nuge for either. Its very cliche but Nuge is infinitely valuable to the Oilers, more than any other team might value him. With his production rising the last couple years too, he is producing like a legitimate top line winger, while giving an honest two-way effort and flexibility at center.

Im a big fan of Dumba, but not remotely interested at the cost of Nuge.

Nuge is an oiler for life!!!!!! Never trade nuge

I don’t think we need Dumba, so that’s why I said no Dumba. With Larsson, Barrie, Bear, and Bouchard. And we would need a replacement, and what’s a better replacement than a guy that is speedy and that can score.

oilers pass. I feel like if they do trade nuge, they would want picks

I don’t like Ted nugent kid that much. He’s doing fine in Edmonton but he’s definitely not what the wild need

ah yes oilers legend ted nugent
