Team: 2021-22 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 22, 2022

Published: Jan. 22, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Kassian trade: a lot of GMs probably see Kassian as a solid player who can play up and down the lineup (even though he can't). Everyone know's Kassian doesn't really have value to him but there's for sure a few GMs that are dumb enough to acquire him without making the oilers retain or give up an asset.

Barrie trade: Buffalo is slowly starting to get out of thier rebuild stage and wants to improve the team hence acquiring Tuch and Krebs. Barrie will help fill out the RD as it's thin there next year plus, he'll be good help moving the puck and giving the young forwards an offensive dman to play with.

Severson trade: I'm not sure if the Devils are looking to get rid of Severson but if they are, this is likely something they'd want in return. A solid young prospect in Tullio, an NHL ready dman for next year in Samorukov along with the 1st and 3rd should be enough for to get the deal done.

Ullmark trade: If Rask plays well enough for Boston (which he probably will), I can see the Bruins moving on from Ullmark since Swayman is younger, cheaper and just as good if not better than Ullmark already. A 1st rounder should be the asking price and the oilers should be all over that.

Koskinen trade: Koskinen I think is still a good backup goalie in the league. His reputation has been ruined by the oilers' organization by letting him down with poor defensive efforts and overplaying him. I think he's a guy that can give you a good 25-30 games every season no doubt. Nashville could use a guy that takes some of the ease off of Saros before the playoffs and giving up a late round pick should be no problem for them.

Toffoli/Chiarot trade: I'm not too sure about the value on this trade but I believe it's close. Here, MTL gets a high end prospect in Bourgault, a young NHL player in Benson, a prospect goalie and two draft picks. Taking in all the pieces, the value adds up and should be fairly even on both sides. I can see the oilers replacing the 3rd with another 2nd or adding in Lavoie over Benson.

Koekoek trade: Pens get a solid depth guy who can play on the bottom pair or step in in case of injury for a small price.
