I'd be okay with the Pysyk trade, but both Florida and Russell would have to be okay with it too. If the GM could manage that trade with the Panthers then I see Benning becoming expendable by the next trade deadline.
Lucic for Eriksson needs to be straight up, at the very least. Lucic offers at least indirect intangibles to the Canucks (protection for Petterson, Boeser, Hughes et al.) ... Eriksson offers nothing that the Oilers don't already have, over-paid and under-performing veterans. The only reason I can see Edmonton making that trade would be to reduce its $6,000,000 commitment by one year, and I'm not sure that is enough to do the deal.
Vegas may want to move Eakin and Haula, but are likely to get a better offer elsewhere.
