Description

Protected: Malkin, Crosby, Nuge, Guentzel, Tanev, Kapanen, Blueger/ ZAR, Letang, Petterson, Riikola, Jarry

Exposed players: Matheson, Ruhwedel, McCann, ZAR/ Blueger (whichever one you don't protect), Lafferty, Angello, Jankowski, Miletic, Aberg, Desmith.

Notes: Any of the exposed player can be lost to Seattle without a significant downgrade to the team and none are worth sending extra picks to make sure they get taken. Everyone else is exempt or a UFA. The trades are only to get something for players you don't want to lose for free. Get picks and a top 6 forward. (preferably center so they can put Malkin on the wing.)

Leaves plenty of cap space to add in free agency and doesn't blow up the team completely.

Why would the Oilers accept that?

EDM says no!! He'd be our 2nd line LD unless Klefbom comes back and then he'll be our 3rd line LD

The trades were just examples of who to trade and for what... not necessarily for those exact trades... those three could be traded for a good top 6 forward. Obviously Edmonton wouldn't accept that... honestly, neither would the Kings... but they're just examples... (although if they would accept it... LOL)
