Crazy bad idea for the Oilers to trade their 1st round pick for a rental!
Even though Athanasiou probably isnt worth a 1st it'd make more sense to deal the 1st for him cause at least he's an RFA which keeps him an Oiler, JGP is highly unlikely to sign in Edmonton and even if he was why not just wait till he hits UFA and try for him then, giving a 1st for him to see him walk just isn't worth it.
I bet Pageau signs with the Sens or ends up with some team in that region.
Devils probably just want a 2nd for Vatanen, they don't want all that other stuff and if you're asking them to retain they're not taking three guys just to make the cap work for the Oilers.. Lol
