<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GoGuinsGo_18</b></div><div>McLeod has 19 pts and 65 pts in 190 games. He's a decent young player. Jake Guentzel is a top 15 winger in the league and his cap hit will be 3 million this year. Yeah, Jake's not going to EDM then because nobody else even remotely interests me as a centerpiece of the deal.

Edit: I certainly don't blame you for not wanting to lose McCleod. He's a decent young center with a lot of potential. But I'm just saying well first off he's not more valuable than Guentzel 1 to 1 in a vacuum idk about EDM specifically but in a vacuum that's ridiculous but also moreso with some of the other names being floated on other teams and some of the other trades I've seen I'd prefer almost all of them over these EDM proposals I'm seeing. Basically only McCleod being included would probably change that perspective for me. But no I certainly understand not wanting to lose McCleod for what is surely a rental in EDM's situation.</div></div>

Fair post.

Mcleod will be a 3C or Middle 6 winger for the Oilers for the next decade or more to come. He’s in that Nuge territory where you keep him forever. He wants to be here and he has the speed, hands, and smarts to be impactful in the new NHL. So yeh that’s why to the Oilers it makes very little sense to trade him for a Rental.

That said, I would agree that Guentzal is the best available rental winger on the market. But he isn’t the only good one out there, the Oilers offence sits Top 5 again this year and usually is tops in the League. There’s other more appropriate wingers at a lower cost that are still good wingers that the Oilers could target. Toffoli, Tarasenko, and then on the cheaper scale guys like Mantha, Duclair. And if we really wanted to break the bank maybe we go after Buchnevich, although i can’t see the Oilers paying that high a price.
