Quoting: MisstheWhalers
Honestly don't think you made this bottom six any better or all that much bigger/physical, also blew quite a bit of draft capital and prospects to do this.
Bastian is 6'4 over 200 lbs 210 hits this past season 18 points -12
Fischer is 6'2 over 200lbs 91 hits in only 53 games this season 10 points -15
Crouse is 6'4 over 200lbs 180 hits in only 64 games this season 34(20 goals)points -9
Kunin 6'0 197 lbs 223 hits this season 22 points -11
Evans 6'0 195 lbs 88 hits- plays in all situations 29 points -5
Current bottom 6
McLeod 6'3 201lbs 28 hits 21 points -2
Ryan 5'10 185lbs 38 hits 22 points -4
Foegele 6'2 198lbs 127 hits 26 points -9
Kassian 6'3 211lbs 154 hits 19 points +2
Shore 6'1 206lbs 67 hits 11 points - doesnt play alot
Archibald 5'10 176lbs 57 hits 1 point -2(yes he would have far more hits but has played very few games)
Not sure what draft capital or prospects you would consider blown to add these guys?? Possibly the Yamo trade i guess as he is probably a more skilled player than Kunin, but i think the physicality Kunin plays with is something the Oilers need more.
Lavoie and a 2nd for Evans some might say is too much, but Evans plays in all situations and is signed at a very team friendly deal for 3 more seasons. Lavoie is getting bumped further and further down the depth charts lately.
McLeod for Bastian is what it is. McLeod is definitely the better player so maybe NJ should add. Bastian fits the role as a bottom 6 player much better than McL does. If the oilers do keep him i think he is better suited playing up in the lineup.
Zona trade is fair, actually i could see the yotes wanting more added because Crouse is a beast.
