I don't think Holland will give up his 1st round pick for a rental. However, if he did, I'd prefer to see him unload Koekkoek and Shore on Montreal. Chiarot could help the Oilers in the playoffs, and then he'd likely enter free agency and sign somewhere else. For Edmonton, including Koekkoek and Shore opens up roster spots and cap space next season and with luck that creates opportunities for Holloway, McLeod, Broberg and Samorukov. For Montreal, Koekkoek might provide decent depth on their blue line, and both contracts can be completely buried in Laval is necessary. It seems to me that, from Edmonton's perspective, unloading depth players with term would take some of the sting out of paying a 1st round pick for a playoff rental.
