Absolutely awful. We should do it anyway because that's the funniest result.

The Bruins have no interest in trading Carlo. A lot of insiders think he's the next captain.
You'd have to make an amazing offer to even consider it.

Some say…
I feel like the value’s probably fair, but the cap doesn’t work for Boston so it’s a total non starter, before you even consider that they’d be unlikely to move Carlo
They most definitely would.
This proposal will get shredded because HF, but if Kane was healthy (including his wrist) it would be a pretty strong offer. With the question mark on his health, though, it's a non-starter.

Switch Kane+Bourgault to Holloway and it's closer.
Ceci+Holloway
For Carlo
Ceci+Holloway
For Carlo
Cap? Lol. Whether they have interest in him or not, they need him and they need him bad.
If Kane were an isotope, he'd be Uranium-235. The dude's fissile... radioactive, man. No one's touching that contract.
There's no interest in Ceci either.
This has two crappy contracts that the Oilers very much want to dump (and everyone knows it), in exchange for a very useful defenseman who is on a good contract, with nice term left to boot. Carlo's likely going nowhere.
A proposal needs to meet the needs of both sides. A salary dump needs to include a carrot, not that this is any guarantee the other side will agree to do it. This has two salary dumps.
Even if he is one of the Oilers' top prospects, and it's the best they have to offer, Xavier Bourgault is not exactly setting the world on fire in Bakersfield the last two seasons.
It's not enough... and it's entirely possible nothing will be enough. Boston is in its contention window and isn't taking back salary dumps. This is the wrong trade partner for an Oilers team seeking to dump bad contracts. Arizona isn't in the league anymore, so the typical land where misfit toys end up is closed now as well.

Oilers fan 'hate' it because they feel sorry for BOS fans. OP is just not fair to BOS.
Every Oilers fan will gladly take this and run!

That is one of the worst proposals I’ve seen in a while.

Where’s the value for boston?
Ceci - a guy who is trying to be dumped
Kane - a guy who is coming off an injury and being dumped due to his role no longer being needed in the oilers top 6
Bourgault - this dudes ahl stats are putrid

You could take out Carlo from Boston's side and I'm not even sure Boston would do it.
I can see you have the same struggle as me when spelling Draisaitl's name.
To Edmonton:
Brandon Carlo
To Boston:
Leon Draisaitl
conditional 1st. pick
If Draisaitl extends 1st becomes 2nd.

Oilers fan for 40 years… living in Boston. Oilers would most definitely be interested in Carlo in nearly any circumstance… he’s one of the better defensive D in the league.
Bruins fans, please excuse our rogue faction and refrain from illustrating your point by using the name Draisaitl… we can handle this and you aren’t adding to the conversation.
