I feel like the only time Zaitsev gets you even a neutral value coming back is in the last year of his contract, with retention. He's just bad...

Sens aren't getting value for Zaitsev, even if it's just the difference between a 4th and 5th. Best solution is probably a buyout

Burakovsky is gonna reach a little deeper in your pockets

Oilers didn't want Tyler Ennis for nothing in the off season, they won't trade for him now.

Oilers accept.

The Oilers need actual upgrades of their line-up in terms of quality, not just adding more bodies.

Ennis is an actual upgrade he is a good forward and would be better than most of the guys that we have tried in our bottom 6 it would foolish to reject that trade.

I like the guy overall but he doesn't bring anything the Oilers need to the table. If the Oilers wanted him, he likely would've signed for another year at a similar price point and not cost assets but the Oilers never offered him a contract. The Oilers are imminently bringing in Kane and wouldn't be surprised to see Holloway after the all-star "break". Both of those guys bring offensive talent with size and play a physical game. The Oilers are already too easy to play against, adding a 5'9" 161lb skilled forward for the bottom 6 doesn't help.

My projected lines once the team is healthy:

Kane-McDavid-Yamamoto
Hyman-Draisaitl-Puljujarvi
Holloway-RNH-Foegele
Shore-McLeod-Kassian

Scratches- Ryan, Benson
Minors/Taxi- Perlini, Sceviour
