Just re: Vegas-They can't even afford to tender a contract to Kubalik this offseason. Don't see how that works.

A quick run through though (Just my personal opinions):
-I'd be 50/50 as the Leafs...
-I'd decline if I was the Oilers. I love MAF, but everyone is blaming this on goaltending when there's a heck of a lot more wrong in Edmonton than that (Bottom 6, lack of defence). MAF might raise the ceiling a bit, but even getting into the playoffs is a long shot at this point.
-I'd accept if I was Boston. DeBrusk's QO is outrageous...he's a non-tender candidate, regardless of what wild trades people make involving him.
-Sure for Florida. Why not? De Haan wouldn't be a bad option for their left side either...
-"Meh" on Gustafsson...he's no better than he was last year, when the Flyers got a 7th for him (with 50% retention!).

1st would need protection for Edmonton at this point. Imo their 1st order of business has to be a new coach

For sure. I just really, realllllly think that the Oilers need a clear plan to address the other two gaping holes if they intend to do this.

That’s a big no from the Leafs.

We can discuss a Hagel deal, but no one else is really all that interesting.

On Vegas, they're so focused on winning the cup that they take the help for this year and pay the price for shedding a contract which they have to shed just to ice their roster this year. They will have to make extra difficult choices in the offseason whether thats trading McNabb, Karlsson, or one of their top scorers like Max.

Fair point on Edmonton both of you. The pick would have to be protected on their side and they have issues with depth scoring and need another defender. You could argue they could use pretty much of any of the big three MAF, Kubliak or DeHaan. It depends if Holland feels like this season has to be saved or if they're better keeping their draft capital.

Even better point on Gustaffsson, I forgot he went for a 7th last year. You could argue his season is better this year than last, but given the trade last year, hard to get that much of a jump in value without something closer to his 60 point season.
