Another top4 D from Mtl

Ya no if the habs are retaining on edmundson AND taking back a barrie cap dump theres no conditions on the first and your adding

Make it 50% of the Oilers remainng games

Interesting decision for Hughes. He could probably get more for Edmundson, 6'5, 29 year old cup winner at the TDL but the Habs left side is realy crowded though Edmundson has also played on the right side in St Louis.

Barrie could turn into a chip at next years TDL. Depends on how long the Oilers want to wait and fix this defence which has been abhorrent to start the year

I like Barrie and I don't see the difference as being more than a 2nd or 3rd between he and Eddy. My real issue though is why are we trading for a Barrie type when we have Wideman who is just as offensive? Wideman only finished with 14 points less than Barrie last year, on a much better team.

You are trading for the 1st rounder though after the Chiarot return last TDL... waiting on Edmundson to play significant minutes is the better option in all likelihood but they need space for their youth when you have Matheson also returning at some point! They have too many contracts right now is the problem so Barrie would also be an issue, you are correct unless they can flip him eventually
