Trading a future trade deadline asset for the final pick in a mediocre draft doesn't feel very smart.
Defensive center? Giving up a future 1st (trade asset) for that seems.....unwise.“Chris Ford of Smaht Scouting reports that O'Reilly is a good middle-six centre who is a great defensive centre, a common sentiment among scouts. Despite his age, he was relied upon to take faceoffs and penalty kills for the Knights, an impressive role for such a young player.”
Did a quick search since I didn’t check scouting report on him.
Yeah, from the sounds of it he wasn't well thought of at the beginning of the year, but really grew throughout the year, I imagine some of those metrics might hold the start of the year a little more strongly
Who knows. Maybe this guy doesn't have a clue.
Could also look at it 1 year of development in a late bloomer is more valuable than the raw first round pick in a trade deadline deal tooI'm fine with it, I'm just not used to the Oilers being so proactive haha. The Jeff Jackson era is officially here.
Trading a 32nd pick for a 32nd isn't a bad tradeDefensive center? Giving up a future 1st (trade asset) for that seems.....unwise.
Can we bring back Holland haha or maybe not haha
If we trade our 2025 pick it’s our 2026 and that’s it.A pick in 25 or 26? So how does that work when we trade a first at the TDL? We have to ask for permission or what?
Praceys first real moment and it ain’t great."Our staff had him ranked higher than where he went" - JJ
Okay. This is Pracey's moment. Off the board pick and we expended a future 1st to make it. They must really like this kid.
I know nothing about him. Educate me HF Oil. @McDNicks17
So we get to decide?If we trade our 2025 pick it’s our 2026 and that’s it.

Maybe this kid will explode this year, and for Praceys sake, I hope he does.
I expect they’re hoping he explodes like his teammate Easton Cowan did this year. He’d have significantly more value than a 1st rounder a year out if the Leafs would’ve moved him at the deadline.Could also look at it 1 year of development in a late bloomer is more valuable than the raw first round pick in a trade deadline deal too
Edit like Schaefer
You know the player? Do tell.If we trade our 2025 pick it’s our 2026 and that’s it.

It that's how that works then I'm fine with this. I assumed you wouldn't be able to move it as it would be tied up.If we trade our 2025 pick it’s our 2026 and that’s it.
London knights always a good bet. Mark Hunter rumours in full force? LolI expect they’re hoping he explodes like his teammate Easton Cowan did this year. He’d have significantly more value than a 1st rounder a year out if the Leafs would’ve moved him at the deadline.

I love seeing Demidov going to the Habs and not to the Ducks especially. Their fanbase was very good to us during the Cup run so it was cool to see them land arguably the 2nd best player in the draft.
Don’t know him a ton but most scouts had him outside the first, 9th on his team in points, below a PPG. Doesn’t seem like much of an offensive player mostly a defensive guy. If it was a pick we had or traded up from our second not terrible. But using one of our few assets that could up build our team to trade for the pick to pick him is.. odd.You know the player? Do tell.
