Quoting: BStinson
I’m sure Detroit would be open to taking on cap & cash but they’d need to be incentivized. Next year Turris is due 2.2M and Koskinen is due 4.5M while having less of a cap hit due to a backloaded contract of Turris. Glendening and Bernier will fetch a third each at the TDL so there’s no incentive for Detroit to make the deal. What futures would Edmonton be willing to add on top?
We do have a few prospects that might fit your mold & timeline, but you have to keep an open mind for em. I'll explain.
Stuart Skinner
1 NHL game under his belt, but if I had to be honest this kid is 1B quality at best.
If a bit of value was all that was needed, this is your guy.
2yrs away
Dmitri Samorukov
quite promising, but sadly no space on the left side.
This would offset the need for 3rd rnd pick going DET's way
add maybe a 6th/7th to edmonton.
1-2yrs away
Tyler Benson
been knocking on the door for 2 years but no space as a top 6 fwd.
High-ish end prospect.
This will eliminate the need for picks to DET in my opinion
add maybe a 4th/5th back to edmonton.
0-1yr away
So keeping it constant:
To EDM:
Bernier
Glendenning

I'm not giving you no-name prospects (from our side). They may not be household names, but they are near the top of our pile.
Heck, some Oilers fans might lambast me for that but hey, gotta give something up to get something back.
