I’d rather keep Trenin

Why would the Oilers be giving up assets AND a top-6 winger for a fourth liner?

The Predators are giving the Oilers a pick, Oilers would be cap compliant and have a guy that isn't afraid to drop the mitts

A 4th liner is pushing it and that so called 4th liner had more goals than your top 6 winger that got almost 2 more minutes a game than our 4th liner. Trenin also had over 100 more hits in the season than your top 6 winger and 1 more goal in the playoffs than your top 6 winger in 12 less games. I rather keep the physicality line of jeannot and trenin together on our 3rd line I wouldn’t mind a more playmaking center like glass centering them next year though

Three more goals but twelve less points. Trenin's shooting percentage was also 4.4% above his prior season where he was only on pace for 9 goals. He also shot 30% in the playoffs which is nowhere near sustainable. Also had lucky results at 5v5 during the regular season (1.015 PDO) as well as in the post-season (1.025 PDO). Puljujarvi's impact on the game is far greater than Trenin's.
