I really like this for the Oilers. Ive always liked Stetcher, getting him and a pick this year for a late pick that is a few drafts away was very savvy by the Oilers. Easy W for Edmonton
Stetcher is a +5 in 47 games with Arizona which is insane so he can probably be great on the 3rd pair for Edmonton. The oilers are only missing that top 4 d-man. Maybe they go after Savvy?
Interesting that they took a 2027 pick. That's a long way off.
They have 34 picks in the next three drafts already. 20 picks in the first three rounds. So if the fourth was the best pick available they probably don't mind waiting until 2027. It's easier to pull picks from distant drafts (will Holland even be there in 2027?), so I am all in favour of stocking up the best picks possible more or less regardless of year under these circumstances.

Stecher is a fine depth add. Any trade for Savard would need cap out like Cody Ceci.
I much rather they go after Buchnevich as they still need top6 help as Henrique is better suited on the third line.
Seravelli saying Armstrong wants two 1sts equivalent and a roster player.
A 2025 1st, Broberg, 2024 2nd and Foegele should get it done at half retained for 2 playoff runs, I think, is well worth it!

Holland's contract ends this summer. He's definitely stealing from the next GM.

Why does Edmonton need so much offense? I really think it's that top 4 guy that's missing but they have enough star power on offense no?
