My Ideal Trade deadline moves

Getzlaf isn’t playing anywhere else and too much quantity

Getzlaf isn't waiving for Edmonton, And that Chychrun deal doesn't have enough quality so Arizona passes.

I think he would waive to come to Edmonton. His family is close to Edmonton, and his brother played in Edmonton for CFL. He would come watch all the time during summer. Also. Was lots of speculation that he was gunna sign with Edmonton this off-season. But ultimately chose to stay

Recent 32 thoughts podcast he said he no longer sees himself playing anywhere else.

Oilers aren’t in on chychrun for a very good reason. Keith has another year and already faced with the reality of klef attempts a return that’s a very expensive left side with several youth also on that side obviously pushing for a full time spot two are called up playing now. Giving up a bunch of highly valued assets to add to that makes no sense.
If the ducks were way out of the race maybe that would be an option however they are trending in the right direction and taking positive steps don’t think they will consider such a move.
Also sending as many assets out as you’ve done in those two trades cripples the organizations depth which hurts the farm team and results in hurting development of the prospects still have left
