Ottawa declines. I love Turry but Zaitsev fills a hole short term, and will be way easier to move later on imo.

Oilers accept

So we trade Ekholm for a prospect and a mid round pick and to move up 15 spots in the draft. No on that trade, Ekholm could get a better return

Can't have conditional picks based on re-signings in the new CBA.

Oh, really, I forgot. Thanks

That's a pretty weak return for Ekholm - especially with his contract through the flat-cap seasons. They can get a better return.

I don't mind Virtanen, but he's not getting a 2nd. I feel the same about Zadorov, but someone is more likely to pay a 2nd for him than Virtanen I think.

If there is someone NSH really wants at 14, then maybe they do the EDM trade. But if they have pick 22, they might just keep that. They could probably trade Jarnkrok for a couple of 3rds or something which would give them potentially 3 picks over the 1 at 14OA. I guess it would depend who they like at 14.
