Description
At the very least, this team is going to the Cup Finals. It's win-now.
Trades
1.
EDM
  1. Benning, Matthew
  2. Karlsson, Erik ($4,500,000 retained)
Additional Details:
San Jose retains around 35% for Erik Karlsson, who immediately improves the Oilers blueline. While some may say this isn't a good fit, another superstar along with McDavid and Draisaitl helps improve the Oilers no matter what. Matt Benning also included because he's a solid and cheap RHD to replace Ceci
SJS
  1. Barrie, Tyson
  2. Bourgault, Xavier
  3. Ceci, Cody
  4. Foegele, Warren
  5. 2024 1st round pick (EDM)
  6. 2025 1st round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
Barrie, Foegele and Ceci are cap dumps, but Barrie has enough value for San Jose to flip for another additional mid-round pick.
Bourgault was drafted in the 1st round in the 2021 draft. Solid prospect and trending well in the AHL currently.
San Jose was looking for 3 1sts for Karlsson, and I believe 2 1sts and Bourgault basically fulfills that.
2.
EDM
  1. Chychrun, Jakob
Additional Details:
Chychrun is a top 4 LHD making just 4.6M for the next 3 years. That in itself is very valuable.
ARI
  1. Kulak, Brett
  2. Petrov, Matvei
  3. Schaefer, Reid
  4. Yamamoto, Kailer
  5. 2023 1st round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
Kulak is there to make the cap space work.
Yamamoto is a good young player for Arizona.
Schaefer was drafted in the 1st round in 2022 and played for Canada in the WJC. Petrov is also a solid prospect who's currently top 3 in the OHL in scoring. Arizona also gets another 1st.
3.
EDM
  1. Vrána, Jakub ($1,500,000 retained)
Additional Details:
Vrana was on waivers a few weeks ago and no one claimed him. Still a solid finisher which is what Edmonton needs in their top 6.
DET
  1. Puljujärvi, Jesse
  2. Savoie, Carter
  3. 2023 3rd round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
Puljujarvi gets a change of scenery

not enough for that much retention, and the 23' 1st would be going to SJ

That's massive retention for that return. That kind of retention you need to include Bouchard and another pick.

Everyone who isn't an Edmonton fan says no. Vrana is on a 6 game point streak and has 10 points in his last 9 games. We could see him back in Detroit shortly and I think it would be foolish to move him before seeing how he does in the NHL.

Hard to believe that San Jose would trade Karlsson without getting a 2023 first, or that they would pay him $13.65 million not to play for them.

And you DO realize that you're actually ADDING cap to San Jose?

Amen, guys.

I feel like I need say this every time I see Benning in these. HE IS NOT AN EXTRA THROW IN PEICE

Dude is middle pairing shutdown d-man on a 4 YEAR $1.25 M CONTRACT (having a surprisingly good offensive season as well). He should be getting us a 1st + on his own. That contract is gold for a team that needs value d-men.

Also that retention is absurd on EK.
