but that rakell contract at the moment seems very hard to trade, and if Dubas doesn't manage we need a huge bounce back season from him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vols94</b></div><div>4x5M for a 37 pts player at 30. He's not getting better or younger. so yeah he's a cap dump.</div></div>

Rakell isn't playing at the World Invitational over injury issues. I'm willing to bet it was the one that sidelined him in Nov-Dec and he's been playing through it for months. He comes back healthy and suddenly that trade looks Hextallian. And while Puustinen is replaceable, I'm not certain anyone we have is going to slot in as effectively as Puusty, or anyone we could get on the market would be available at as low of a cap hit Puusty would get.
"Lets trade a top 6 winger, a cheap middle 6 winger when we have suspect depth, and a goalie prospect with potential for nothing because that top 6 winger had one bad year due to injuries!" Masterful gambit, sir.

Thread: Jake Trade That I Would Not Hate
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KVR</b></div><div>That is the equivalent of 3 first round picks and our number 2 Right shot D man for 20 games of Guentzel. Hard pass from this Oiler fan. It creates more holes than it fills.

I would do a 1st, Broberg and one of (A second rounder, Raph Lavoie or Carter Savoie). The second prospect/pick would be included for the Pens to retain salary.

Anything more than that and I would look elsewhere if I were the Oilers.</div></div>

I wouldn't consider either Broberg or Holloway to have 1st round pick value right now. They were drafted 5 and 4 drafts ago respectively. Broberg still hasn't earned a permanent spot in the NHL, and Holloway hasn't produced very well. Maybe one or both are in need of a change of scenery, but I doubt either of them are going to reach their ceilings. Broberg especially.
Neither look like good bets to have 1st rounder upside at the point they're at.
