As a Edmonton oiler fan, WE WOULD LOVE TO ACCEPT YOUR TRADE OFFER! what a steal if Holland can make this work aha

Would you do it if I added a prospect from EDM like Marody?

Sens don't do this deal. What Ottawa gives up is WAY more valuable to a rebuilding Senators team than what they get.

Wolanin is a top 4 level talent, and Ottawa should be keeping their picks.

Strome is a decent middle six guy, but the sens have guys currently on the roster who can fill that role now (Tierney, Duclair and Brown etc) and they have so many young forwards coming through the next couple of years that there is no way Strome fits long term. Georgiev is a solid young goalie, but Ottawa is at max capacity with goalies, so they don't really need him. Gropp is an AHL player and Smith is a cap dump.

Well, I mean Oilers cannot even afford Kreider with the cap...
But I imagine if the trade be something like this

Oilers -
Brodziak, Manning (retains 50%), and Prospect dman Bear
-------
Rangers -
Kreider (retains $1.3%)

In order to make this deal go through

I have no clue on Wolanin, only things I know is that he's 24 years old and played mostly in the affiliate of the worst team in the league last season. He can be changed to some other asset, if necessary.

I constructed the trade as Strome+Gropp for 2nd, Smith+Georgiev for Condon+Wolanin(which can be changed, just a goalie+d swap).

Figured that OTT might have a slot for Strome. Also since they have cap space OTT could be a potential team to dump Smith into. Also took Condon from their roster. Georgiev would probably be the most valuable goalie of that team after the trade.

Tbh NYR is in more cap trouble than EDM is currently. They're not in place to add cap, which that trade would do.

Also value-wise that trade would get NYR fleeced, as Kreider is worth 1st+, while Brodziak and Manning aren't worth crap and Bear doesn't cut it.

Wolanin is the genuine article. Great offensive instincts, and incredible speed and lateral mobility. Reads the play really well.

He played in the AHL last season because Max Lajoie endeared himself to Guy Boucher early on, and was given way too much rope when he should not have been in the NHL.

Wolanin on the other hand proved that he was well beyond the AHL, being the 1D and one of the most dangerous offensive weapons on that squad. He had the most low key 5 point night anyone has ever had in hockey history. When Marc Crawford gave him a chance to spread his wings, he took off, looking like a reliable top 4 Dman behind Chabot. He made Cody Ceci look the best he ever looked in Ottawa in my opinion.


As a rule, I don't think Ottawa should be giving up assets like this for players who won't be meaningful pieces of the team when they are eventually good. Now, Georgiev might be that, but it still doesn't make a lot of sense when they already have the deep crop of talented goalie prospects. Goalies are hard to really gauge, but it's very unlikely that Ottawa whiffs on all of the guys they have.
