Nurse or Benning need to be involved in any trade to MTL for Drouin.

Jones for Hudon as a 1 for 1 might work.

I expect Rieder to score 3 or 4 times as many goals next season as in 18-19...

I'm not sure there is a 1for 1 trade for a 25 year old with 13 career goals....

With all due respect, this is basically the same Oilers defence that allowed 271 goals against in 18-19....I don’t think this “fixes” the Oilers at all.

People need to figure out that adding more forwards WILL NOT make a significant change to the Oilers unless impactful change is made on defence as well.

You’re dead wrong man. Secondary scoring is the biggest weakness on this team, can you imagine how much better they would be getting 1/2 goals a night from guys not wearing 93, 29, or 97. Give this team a second line and they are significantly better, the that by adding actual second line wingers or another top liner so Drai can move down and play with Nuge.

I’m not saying the current D is good enough to make playoffs but they need depth scoring first

Again, with respect, you don't understand the game if you truly believe secondary scoring is the team's biggest weakness.

In the NHL today, offence is created through the breakout and quick transition from the back end. The Oilers don't have that and those components greatly affect a teams ability to score, and more specifically, it affects "average" players who need to receive the puck in positive positions in order to make plays. 97, 93 & 29 are exceptions to this rule...not to mention that having these three players should be enough in itself for offense, if your team doesn't allow 271 Goals Against your probably close to a playoff team.
