So the trade is an ECHL player, a waiver player that nobody wanted, a 4th liner and a 3rd liner. I know he can play on the first line on the Oilers. Oilers are perfectly fine with Kassian on the 1st line, he can skate with McDavid, he scores with McDavid and he protects McDavid. Kassian goes to the hard areas as well. We are totally fine with him. I loveeeee Kapanen, but we really dont need him, he would be on the Oilers 3rd line as well. What we need is a first line LW. (Johnsson). But if I am oilers GM, I am not trading nurse for a bunch of players who wont make a difference in the NHL. Nurse has alot of value to the OIlers, he protects, he can skate the puck out and when the going gets tough, he does not shy away. Oilers are 2nd in pacific and wont be trading Nurse until the off season and only if he asks for a crazy amount of money........ So I say Oilers decline
