can i ask why oilers are giving you a 4th for stenlund? maybe a 7th or a middling prospect like ostap safin, tyler benson, or philip berglund
Doesn't really matter. I'd also do a Benson swap. There was buzz around Stenlund and EDM before, so just playing off that.

I'd say that would def get one of Crouse or Chychrun, for both we'd probs have to add another 1st rounder or swap out Bemstrom for Tex.
Yea I can see that as well. There's something ominous about Tex ditching to Europe for the last couple months and now playing at the World Championships.
Quoting: Konkarsson
i would instead go after Murphy
Does nothing for the growth of this team. If we were already a competitive team then sure, but with where this team is at there's no value here. Also, you're just saying this because he's from Ohio.

I really don’t want to give up whatever haul is going to be necessary to get Chychrun.
I don’t think we are one JC away from being competitive.
Nobody is saying Chychrun is gonna make this team immediately competitive, but he has term left, he's good and he's young. This team needs another bonafide defender and there's a logjam up front so guys need to be on the move. Whether that's in a Chychrun trade or something else remains to be determined, but Columbus absolutely needs to move some guys. Bemstrom seems like the odd man out most the time even and could use a change of scenery. Roslovic has only increased his value with his strong end to the year. I can only expect Arizona would want a young defender out of a trade for him. Only reason I added Crouse to the trade is because there's been rumors surrounding him and Columbus seems poised to improve their physicality after getting bullied by certain teams during the season. Like someone above mentioned Tex could be swapped out with Bemstrom as well if value isn't there.
