Some thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>turtlemountain</b></div><div>Interesting. I thought this would be a decline for the Oilers even outside of Compher’s cap hit.
I really doubt Colorado would want to retain in a cup contention year, but they probably could if it’s just for 1 season. Avs actually have some flexibility this summer</div></div>
It likely should be a decline, but I'm allowing for some flexibility for the sake of discussion. I think Compher fits the profile of the kind of player Holland wants more of to go along with the Hymans, Yamamotos, and Foegeles- which is to say, the diligent workers that play with pace and attack the hard areas. On top of being in the right age bracket where players are at their most consistent and having shown well in the playoffs, he fits quite nicely as an acquisition target.
Full disclosure, I would much rather pursue other younger & cheaper targets.

Some thoughts
Due to Compher's cap hit, I wouldn't make that trade as is. The pick would have to be a 2nd or high-3rd for me to make the deal without some level of cap retention. In moving Jesse for Compher, they would be committing to paying a 3rd liner 3.5mil which defeats part of the purpose for trading him in the first place (cap flexibility).
On the plus side for your proposal, Compher is likely exactly the kind of player Holland and Co. would be looking for.

Trade for Connor Brown
Two revisions I'd require in order to get onside with that:
1.) 50% cap retention of Brown's contract (extra cap space to go all-in with as Brown is a UFA next year)
2.) Change the 3rd to Tampa's 2nd
If those two conditions are met, I could be amenable to such a deal, though I think they'd be losing quite serious value in such a trade.

Making an unreal team
Given the established cost of trading Kassian is approx. a 2nd, you're of the belief that the price to buyout Keith's contract is a 1st and Lavoie? Yeah, that's a pretty absurd demand that I'd easily pass on.

Much of this is woefully biased in favour of EDM (excluding the NSH deal which is just weird). The OTT, CHI, and SEA trades are skewed in EDM's favour and the VGK trade doesn't make sense as they've already gathered an ass tonne of LTIR cap with Weber and still have to remain under the 10% offseason overage allowance. I don't believe Klefbom helps them in any way.

A trade from an Oilers ACGM that I would 100 percent endorse
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>athrin</b></div><div>JP is a bad player, he is know as the play killer in the oilers dressing room, has little actual value
"Puljujarvi is deemed “a play killer” inside the Oilers dressing room, it is believed, where two of the best centremen in the world have not been enough to turn Puljujarvi into a legitimate Top 6 winger in the NHL. The puck dies on his stick in the offensive zone too often to continue to saddle Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl with such a winger on a regular basis.:"
OTT should stay away, if McDavid and Drai could not make him into a top 6 player, no one can.</div></div>
Yeah, Mark Spector is <strong><em>absolutely</em></strong> a trustworthy source. 100%. Never sensationalizes <strong><em>anything</em></strong> or pushes narratives for clicks. Not once. Never even crossed his mind. No sir.
I could elaborate further, but the following image should provide sufficient evidence to at least refute the asinine take that he's a bad player that's a burden on McDavid.

Puli goes to Ottawa ans the most realistic Sens off-season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>You can buyout Kassian. The cap hit is nothing this season.</div></div>
And further to that point, in the following season, the cap hit is up at 1.6mil but that's during a season where, so long as Ken doesn't make a monumental mistake, the team will have plenty of space and only really Bouchard and Skinner/another goalie as major pieces to re-sign. Buyouts are less than ideal, but I'd argue that losing a 2nd is worse in this case.

"The market for Jesse wasn't there"
Somehow these quotes will make sense to Holland.
I'm fully prepared for Puljujarvi to be dumped for a 2nd or 3rd.</div></div>
And yet, before Jesse came back to the league, Holland wasn't prepared to accept a 2nd for him. Now that he's returned and showed himself to be a good NHL player, I doubt that will have changed. However, to your point, I guess I've seen stupider moves made over the past decade and a half.

Trading Pullijarvi for a goalie
Jesse is worth more than Raanta IMO. A 33 year old, pending-UFA 1B/backup goalie with a long injury history isn't what I'd call a compelling return for Jesse even if it technically fills a hole on our roster.
Also, the rest of that roster is concerning in its stalwart adherence to the kind of team-building practices that continue to have this team icing an impotent bottom-6.

DAL would be looking to add RD, not swap one out for another one- especially not a cost effective one like Jani. They're fine as a landing spot for Barrie but you'd be looking at getting a mid-round pick in return.

The issue is I think people are going to disagree with your assertion that Puljujarvi is worth a 2nd. I view him as being worth at least a late-1st. Tough to say what his actual value is given the nature of his skillset and the understated quality to his game, but I wouldn't accept less than a late-1st worth of value. As for the Kassian portion, I'd sooner just buy him out than sacrifice Jesse to be free of him.

Yeah, I Googled him already. What I'm more confused by is why you'd be so desperate to add him that you'd pay a 1st++ for him? He certainly looks like he could develop into something notable, but his current trajectory doesn't scream top pairing D or even certain top 4 D. That kind of package is what you pay to get the certainty of an established top 4 D.
