Trade explanation

Buffalo has to take money back. Specifically if the reports are true that Eichel wants out as well as other key players.
To me this package may seem like an overpay for the Oilers but consider you are also getting a team to take on Neal's contract.
Holloway is a must - This is a center for center and frankly one of the Oilers biggest needs a RHC.
Yamamoto is a tough loss but a necessary loss.
I believe this trade is fair for both teams, both teams receive young talent and Buffalo receives players that have RFA status and UFA status.
Buffalo gets another huge 2023 draft pick.

BUF

Holloway, Dylan
Neal, James
Yamamoto, Kailer
2023 1st round pick (EDM)

EDM

Ekman-Larsson, Oliver ($4,000,000 retained)
Kuemper, Darcy

Additional Details:

This is a quality trade of prospects and players for both teams and Arizona must take on salary as part of any trade.

There's always one bizarre trade that gets recycled by everyone on this site and rn it's Kassian to NYR *for an asset* 😶 even retained it's quite bizarre

Every penny of cap becomes precious to them in '22

Kas aging, declining, AHLer, healthy scratches, etc.

I should just copy n paste my comment

But why should I have to

Neither can sprint tho

ANA is too bloated from the bob murray era

Arizona didn't have money to buy proper shoes ☹

Otherwise the trades are pretty good ultimately

OEL replacing klefbom is like on a sitcom

When an actor leaves, replaced by someone similar
