Rather have Armia than Wennberg, but that's an even swap at worst, no need for the picks.

I would considering adding Tyson Barrie to the trade otherwise the oilers can’t afford Donskoi

Edit: with that then you wouldn’t have to add Bear

Although I'd be happy to see the Oilers make better use of the $4.6M cap hit that Barrie represents, I can't imagine why Ron Francis would want to have both him and Justin Schultz. Maybe one or the other, but not both.

But then why Bear. He is less proven and shown to be very similar in that his defensive capability is sometimes lacking.

Canes definitely accept

I question that as well; although I recognize it's difficult to find a RHD who plays defense first, or a solid two-way game, and is suitable to play third pairing yet capable of stepping up against tougher competition when required. Those who are currently available appear to be either offensive d-men, and/or may be overwhelmed if required to play bigger minutes against tougher competition.

If given the choice between Bear or Barrie, I'd pick Barrie. He is capable of playing a reasonably well rounded game when partnered with a defensive LHD and he remains an elite-level PP contributor. Still, neither is ideal on a roster that includes Justin Schultz.
