Graves is likely to be a Seattle expansion pick. Maybe they’d do the trade, but I can’t see Colorado doing it since they’d be losing Bear to Seattle (unless he’s exempt?) and Graves fits their cup run this season better.

Have you never seen the Oilers LHD depth chart?

Yes but none are offensively talented and if Klef doesnt come back Larsson could use a puck mover to play with.

Lindgren isn't being moved considering is amazing chemistry with fox especially not for another for RHD

Our offense isn't an issue, we need guys who can keep the puck out of our zone, we also need better goaltending

Disagree on the goaltending, but the rest is very true.

Never heard of Philip Broberg, I see. The Oilers have lots of puck-moving talent on the roster and on the depth chart.

Lindgren is underrated. I hope we keep him long term.

I like these guys, Graves and Lindgren especially. All seem to be solid two-way guys although I'm not an advanced stats pro. The reasoning for all these Bear mock trades is to balance our handedness on defence, which I agree with. I think that once Barrie's offence cools off a bit and we go on a bit of a slump, more people will realize Barrie is the guy that needs to go. Bouch can bring the same offence as Barrie on the PP, and Bear is much better than Barrie defensively

I don’t mind our defence, but I would like to get a Alec Martinez type guy if we have extra cap for next year. He’s a good veteran, that can help the young guys he can also play in the top 4 of needed. We do need better goaltending.... I really want Holland to target Mackenzie Blackwood in the off season if possible.

Yeah I mean the handedness issue is why the Rangers would decline. They already have more RHD than they know what to do with.
