    Obviously, the Nuge trade would be Nuge for Jones, but I could not figure out how to trade for an RFA.

    Completely guessing on what Jones would need to be re-signed for.

    Pouliot would need to be traded when Nurse and McDavid some up for contract renewal to free up cap space.

    Cap roll off is important with McDavid, Leon and Nurse needing new deals.

    This team starts with $8M in cap spaces, and then the following season:

    Replaces Fayne with Reinhart saving ~$2.5M

    Trades Pouliot and replaces him with a cheaper player or the 2016 1st round pick on an ELC saving $2-3M

    Replaces Hendricks with Khaira or Yakimov saving $1M

    That gives the team roughly $14M plus any cap increases (say $1m per year) or about $16M to re-sign the big three of McDavid, Leon, and Nurse. To really make it work, the team needs Reinhart to step up so they could move Sekera for a cheaper defender.

    I agree that this is the type of trade that the Oilers need to make, but I just don't see the Preds giving up Jones. I think it would take RNH and other assets to make it happen. Although I'm not Poile, so I could be completely wrong on that.
