Description
Read an article saying the Ducks are open to basically blowing up the roster, and Rakell is a player they are considering moving as by the time the Ducks are ready to be relevant again he will be over 30.

Fans of both teams: I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS FAIR VALUE, IM ONLY CURIOUS WHAT EACH SIDE WOULD WANT THE DEAL TO LOOK LIKE AND THIS IS JUST A GUESS.

Rakell would be a good fit for Edmonton as he is signed with term and fits the age window the oilers are aiming to compete in.
Trades
ANA
  1. Benson, Tyler
  2. Khaira, Jujhar
  3. Puljujärvi, Jesse [Reserve List]
  4. 2020 2nd round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
Getting a top 60 pick in a stacked draft is a benefit to a rebuilding Ducks team, Benson is a childhood friend and Bantam AAA team mate of Sam Steel who appears to be part of the Ducks plan so there will be built in chemistry last year, and he’s a solid prospect headed to the AHL all star game. Khaira is included more to help the oilers with cap space, he’s also a capable NHL player that can eat bottom 6 minutes and help the young guys stay in other leagues to develop properly.

Edit: added Puljujarvi as first two replies said Oil needed to add. Yes Puljujarvi is a wild card but he could very easily be the best player involved in this trade in two years.

As you said, he's a quality player locked up for term at a very team-friendly contract. He's not going to be cheap. Offers probably start at a 1st and an A prospect. In other words, you're going to have to give up something you don't want to, not just expendable assets.

A second in a very deep draft and Tyler Benson (probably the best forward prospect in the organization) are not what I would call expendable assets, Khaira is for sure but that was just to make the money work and he’s a useful player for a rebuilding team, he’s by no means essential to the deal.

It’s fair if the Ducks want a first, I’m guessing at that point he would be to costly for the oilers who seem hell bent on not moving their first, however Rakell being on the contract he’s on may be the kind of player that would make them consider it.

Rakell is going to put up 30-35 goals minimum with a guy like Connor. There is no way this happens without far more of an offer.

I don’t think teams punish the Oilers for the likelihood of the departing player to have success with the best player in to world. The Flames traded James Neal for poorly trained Rhino on skates and I think everyone knew Neal was going to score in Edmonton.

That being said I guess Rakell is worth a little more than my initial thought so I added Puljujarvi, a bit of a wildcard but could easily be a better player than Rakell in a couple years.

I'd say a 1st, Khaira, and one of Bouchard, Broberg, or Lavoie would get it done.
