I say thing as someone who likes both Carrier and Novak a lot, I don't see what's appealing for the Oilers in this trade. Ceci still has one season left after this one While Carrier is a pending UFA. And since I'd classify both as number 4-5 defensmen, the Oilers wouldn't drastically uprade their team there.
Which then leaves Bourgault, a B prospect, a first and a second for Tomas Novak, who's a good player but who's not awesome and again, he's another pending UFA.
I believe Edmonton is trading too much here
