The problem is that OEL has 0 value based on his season last year, and teams know that going into negotiations. In order to get rid of him, they are gonna have to take on a bad contract. I think Neal would be the contract they take, as their Goaltending is already locked up. Their only payoff would be Lagesson as someone that could play in OEL's place on the bottom pair, and has upside to improve (not much but its there, hes young). Maybe you can add a 4th - 7th round pick in there, but I doubt the Oilers give up anything more in value.

For the Philly deal, the difference is that one has a contract and the other does not. I think Patrick is probably the better player, but he doesn't have a contract. Overall it should be an even 1 for 1 at this point. Though i agree that Philly can use him in a different deal for sure. Also I agree that Landeskog most likely is not coming to Edmonton, but I had the cap space in this mock to get him, so here's hoping!</div></div>

OEL is still a top 4 dman and will cost as much especially retained and ask philly fans I’m sure they’ll say they want Bear instead. Also OEL contract is to long I think for us to take on

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilnate</b></div><div>Fair I just see him being so undervalued what would you say is a fair trade? Because I keep seeing him being traded for a third and ppl saying neal or koskinen needs to go back then which doesn’t make sense to me. In my mind Keith gives the Oilers a bottom 4 dman who can help out Bear or Bouchard. Blackhawks get Koskinen who can help fellow don Lankinen, and Caleb Jones is a nice young defenseman whos ready for a full time role but the oilers have multiple young dmen and need a vet. Also Stan said that he wants to get a stud blue liner so reuniting of the Jones brothers strikes me as a possibility here.</div></div>
