I've seen a post with that similar Oilers trade.
Turris for Connolly is more or less a wash (both washed up, once top 6, vets)
Doesn't make any sense for them. Lavoie was a highly ranked prospect that fell in the draft to the 2nd round. Since we drafted him, he tore up Junior, played really well in Europe, and is starting off really nicely in the AHL. He is exactly the type of projected top 6 goal scorer the Oilers need. Makes no sense to move him for a player who hasn't produced in the NHL to his expectations to this point in Nylander. Lavoie is younger, cheaper and more team control. All things you want in a flat cap world.
