I actually think that it would take less to get Kessel. Obvs the Coyotes would need to retain and take back salary, but I have a feeling someone is going to add him for pretty cheap at the deadline

That’s not getting Varly.

the thing is we have to pay to get rid of the kassian and turris contracts. they have negative value.

Almost all of Turris' contract can be buried in the minors ($1.1M of the $1.65M). And he is a UFA at season end so not a big worry there.
The 2nd is probably enough for a team to take Kassian straight up I would think.
As for Kessel, you might not get him for two 3rds that arent in the next draft...

Just dont know if the Oilers want to be using up all these draft picks on another scoring fwd, when they need to upgrade D and G more...
