I like the idea of trading away JJ, because he is not a very good player.
As for trading Bouchard, that is a huge mistake. They have spent the last several years properly developing him. He is under team control for a very long time, still on his ELC, and expansion draft exempt. He is one fo the last players you include in a deal to try and dump Neal. I get that you are getting Strome and Deangelo back, but they are both expensive players with short deals. Not to mention they both need to be exposed in the expansion draft. At this point, the Oilers are clearly committed to seeing Bouchards development through. Cap-wise, it i foolish to consider moving him.
On another note, it would be sweet to land Duclair. He'd pretty much be guaranteed ice time with either one of Draisaitl or McDavid. His contract demands at the moment are unknown though.
