I'd like to hear the reasoning behind this. Here's mine. Let's say RNH scores 40 ish points this season, which is right around his career points/game average. You think a team is going to offer him 7M + ?? in the current state of things? I mean in FA anything can happen but that means they are paying him to be their 1st Line C. If RNH wants to take a few extra hundred thousand $ to be a teams 1st Line then sure, but I don't think a team with RNH as their top guy is going to do much... and I would think he wants to win. Flanking one of 97 or 29 is an infinitely better situation than what you're suggesting.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>desertdog111</b></div><div>Because the Coyotes don’t have interest in Russell, and Samarukov is a B- defensive prospect, which the Coyotes have plenty of in their system right now. Adding in the protections on the draft pick ensure that they don’t do this trade.

Besides I don’t think they’re interested in trading Hammer. They’d rather trade Demers, Goligoski, and Oesterle before they’d get rid of him.</div></div>

I understand if you don't think the trade works. But I don't really agree with your points. Samarukov is much better than a B- prospect. He's the Oilers 3rd best D prospect behind Bouchard and Broberg who are both A prospects. Russel wouldn't be a long term player obviously. But he plays the same position and the salary makes it work. Goligoski might garner interest but the other two won't bring you much back. I highly doubt the Coyotes re sign Hjal. And a deadline move would bring you much less than here. I honestly believe this is a slight overpay for the Oilers trading two good future assets in exchange for two guys with 1 year left before they can walk. But you have to give to get.
