Why would ARI do this

Larsson isn't worth Johnsson

probably because the new GM would have been dropped on his head as a child, much like the person who posted this

Why are you trading your best defensive defenseman?

Why are you acquiring more years of ****ty contract to add Turris?

Why are you trading AA?

Why does Zona do this?

Most of your trades (besides Zona) make somewhat sense value wise, but not for your needs...

Arizona declines. Kuemper is going to cost a 1st. Throwing in Garland only raises the price more. You're way off in value.

There is talk of trading OEL. Kelfbom fills that roll at less dollars. Russell actual salary is $500k after signing bonus

Oh ya he is. Especially to a team with No Defense

They save significant real dollars with Kelfbom.

ARI does not do this. Additionally, why trade for a goalie when like half the league's goalies are UFA this season? The rest of the trades are a wash IMO.

Kuemper and Garland>Klefbom. They can save real dollars by trading the guys with one year left on their contract.

Oilers change D to transition better out of the zone
Turris fills a bigger need as 3C (won over 50% of draws) than Neal as a winger plus get a second
AA is part of trade to replace Larson
Zona gets cap relief and saves a ton in real world dollars. Kelfbom replaces OEL when Zona trades him

Overall Oilers D becomes more transitional (Risto IMO is a good D) and Oilers restock draft pool, fill holes at 3C and goalie and create cap space big risk is Jones doesn't have a Bear like season

Kuemper is a better 1A goalie that fits Oilers needs. I don't see other UFA goalies being signed

Don't be hating

Edmonton is inferior to the leafs defensively. They were 27th at 5v5. The Oilers entire season was a mirage. Special teams carried them to a way better record than they deserved and it wasn't a surprise to see them lose in the play ins.

ok bud. Leafs have and always seem to rely on a hot goalie and now you want to trade them. Oilers biggest issue was goaltending. Leafs D is brutal. How many 3 goal leads do you need to blow to get it?

The Oilers biggest issue was 5v5 play where they routinely gave up way more chances than they generate. Even McDavid and Draisaitl had trouble keeping the puck out of their own zone. Why? Because your defence is garbage. If your PK was even average this season you would have been out of the playoff picture. Hot special teams and a flawed team. The Leafs were the opposite. Often their PK (especially under Babs) was terrible. Their PP was also bad under Babs. They also had a terrible run of bad goaltending from their backup. Take out Hutchinson and the first 20 games or so under Babs and TO was miles ahead of Edmonton. The leafs are in a great spot while Edmonton still had huge question marks all over their lineup.
