Just not a sensible trade going into a playoff run for the Oil. More important to have depth on D than at forward. Value is not insanely wrong, love Formenton as a potential McD winger, and Paul is an upgrade on any 3rd liner the Oilers have, but Bear and Jones gone means the Oil are one D injury away from having Theodor Lennstrom in their playoff lineup, and playing green Dmen Lagesson and Bouchard every night without legitimate backup. Also, Bear is the only RHD with significant experience the Oil have signed going into next year so...yikes, huge risk.
