Description
This is the Oilers year to swing for the rafters. They should go out and pursue a top forward like P. Kane (as there has been reported interest), swap Barrie for a defensive defenceman, re-sign McLeod, and sign some depth.
My thoughts behind this team are such that there will not be a better player that the Oilers can draft in the next 5-10 years (and frankly, maybe never) that will be better than McDavid is. If the Oilers fail to make a splash in the playoffs consistently over the remainder of his contract, he and/or Draisaitl may want out.

Trades
1.
EDM
  1. Soucy, Carson
Additional Details:
Oilers get a much better defensive defenceman, along with cap relief.
SEA
  1. Barrie, Tyson
Additional Details:
Seattle gets a solidified powerplay specialist on the back-end. Having a Larsson, Barrie, Schultz RD corps is very solid for them.
2.
EDM
  1. Kane, Patrick ($5,250,000 retained)
Additional Details:
Oilers get one of, if not the most, skilled player in the NHL on a rental deal. A top 6 of E. Kane, McDavid, P. Kane, RNH, Draisaitl, and Hyman would make the Oilers offence the best in the league.
CHI
  1. Foegele, Warren
  2. Puljujärvi, Jesse
  3. Tullio, Tyler
  4. 2023 1st round pick (EDM)
  5. 2023 2nd round pick (EDM)
  6. 2024 1st round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
The Hawks have an atrocious forward core, they need NHL players. Foegele has proven he can score at the NHL level and Pool Party may still have untapped offensive potential. The Hawks also get a good prospect in Tullio, and a slough of drafts picks. The Oilers don’t need to sit on these drafts picks. No player drafted in the next 5-10 years will ever be better than McDavid, and he won’t want to stay in Edmonton if the team doesn’t have consistent playoff success.

I have to say when I read we don’t need futures I was expecting to come in to seeing Holloway and Bourgault gone. This is maybe a bit of an overpay if Kane doesn’t resign but if the oilers manage to sign him it could be great.

Hawks being atrocious is the whole point. PoolParty and Foegele hold no value to the Hawks. Holloway or Bourgault are gonna need to be in a deal.
