Description

Leaves the Oilers with 3 lines they are comfortable having on the ice against any opposition and a 4th line that could contribute a fair amount in sheltered minutes.

Maroon has history producing with McDavid and is liked in the room, Kapanen gives McDavid a legit goal scorer on his wing with a ton of speed to keep up on odd man rushes.

Frees up Draisaitl to center his own line, given two very good offensive wingers like Nuge and Dzingle they could absolutely feast on the second pairing D that they would face every night.

On an emotional level, I hate Kadri. But he has played a very, very good, third C role for the leafs for the last couple years and has chipped in a fair amount of offense with less than fantastic winger help. Kassian and Kadri together would not be fun at all to play against.

Blueline is scary, but Larsson regressed last year I dont mind shipping him off. Nurse took another huge step next year, if he continues to grow he could become the #1D we thought he may be on his draft day, even if he plateaus he is a solid top pair guy. The hope would be for Klefbom to bounce back and Benning to stay steady, alot of fans give Benning hell but he has managed to produce better numbers at both ends of the ice than people realize, and he does it for cheap as a RHD, I'll take it in todays NHL.

Sekera and Russell are overpaid but as a third pairing there is nothing wrong with them.

Finally what I like most about the lineup here as a whole is the amount of flexibility. Draisaitl can play any forward position in your top 6, Dzingle plays any forward position in your top 9. Kadri can move up to top 6, Maroon into bottom 6. The fourth line could end up producing like a 2nd/3rd line, Nuge can move all throughout the top 9, as can Kapanen. Colin Wilson is a good fit for the Oilers because he is like Kassian and can take on any role on any line and not be out of place.

Obviously like any armchair team on this site this is a pipe dream but I really like the composition of this Oiler squad.

I actually like that trade for the Leafs. I'd hate to give up Kapanen but it makes total sense if you get Pulju back, and then play Nylander at C. I might steal that trade idea for an armchair gm of my own

Kadri, alone, brings a 1st, 4th and a prospect believe it or not.

Based on what evidence? If you look it up you will find that I was not misinformed on kadri's value. Another way is to look at comparables. Take the Kevin Hayes deal at the deadline for example.

That was a deadline deal for one, where values are sometimes skewed. And the first is fairly late, and the "prospect" was Brendan Lemieux, in that case youre right. I thought you meant you want like the 8th overall pick and Yamamoto from the oilers in which case we would have had ourselves an internet fight lol
