Description
Edited to reflect players actually in the Oilers organization (oops).

A trade proposal that checks the following boxes

1. Oilers keep Bouchard because you rarely got the top promising young player (see Meier trade).

2. $11M retention on Karlsson which is closer to the original quoted figure

3. No Campbell involved.

4. Sharks get 1st round pick + 2 prospects drafted in the first round

5. Yamamoto, Foegele, and Ceci balance the short run cap hit.

6. Lorentz and Gregor provide some forward depth. Maybe including Benning for a 3rd would help Oilers fill out their roster for cheaper.

But Oilers still need to sign 5-6 forwards + Bouchard (including RFAs and call ups) to complete the roster. This amount of retention would only leave about $6.5M to do so.

With this in mind, it's very unlikely a trade gets done without another corresponding Campbell trade.

How exactly do you trade Reid Schaefer when he isn’t in the Oilers organization?

The same way Buffalo drafted Taro Tsujimoto. Hope no one notices

Sharks reject both offers quite easily. And it isn't really close. Schaefer is a preds prospect by the way.

Broberg is not needed. We have recently signed and traded for multiple LHD in Mukhamadullin, Okhotiuk, Thrun and Pulli. There's simply no room for Broberg. Yeah this isn't the package bud.

Haha. Was wondering why he wasn't showing up. Fixed that glaring oversight.

The Sharks current LHD are Vlasic, Ferraro, Simek, and MacDonald. None should be with the team when we're good again including Ferraro. Of the LHD prospects you mentioned, maybe 2 make the NHL and only 1 sticks in a top 4. It's never bad to have more dart throws.
