Wow! I did a "Oilers" search and couldn't find anything for this. Although not that surprising since its usually the only thing Oilers fans have to look forward to.

Well documented what the Oilers are looking for but here's a list of their "depth"

Centre: McDavid, Nugent-Hopkins, Draisaitl, Letestu, Lander, Khaira
Left Wing: Lucic, Pouliot, Maroon, Hendricks, Benson, Slepyshev
Right Wing: Eberle, Yakupov, Puljujarvi, Kassian, Caggiula, *Versteeg

Left Defense: Klefbom, Sekera, Davidson, Nurse, Reinhart, Oesterle, Musil, C.Jones
Right Defense: Larsson, Fayne, Bear, Berglund

Goal: Talbot, Gustuvsson, Brossoit

Best bet might be to wait until draft day. Potentially could be some good players shaking free (hopefully a RHD) with expansion looking large.

The entry draft takes place after the expansion draft. My guess is that if teams are moving players they are worried about losing to expansion they will likely be dealt at the trade deadline or possibly between the Cup finals and the expansion draft if there is a trade window.

until the position of the first is determined, it's foolish to speculate as to it's value. Are we talking about a first? A 15th? Drastically different values.

Depends when you want this trade to happen. If its near the TDL, id do Kadri ++

Have to think a GM(if trading for it at the beginning of the season) would be assuming approximately a 10th overall pick and offer suitable value.
Not too sure how deep this draft is to put a value on a #10 selection though.

EDM makes the playoffs this year, quote me on it. This pick will probably be in the 21-24 range, unless the oilers win the cup.

thread should be renamed to value of Patrick/Liljegren, theyre both worth quite a bit.

Unless they trade the Nuge, Edmonton definitely doesn't need a centre. Leafs and Oilers are bad trading partners, since they're both kinda in the same position (Edmonton being further along) looking to fill the same needs.

I agree a top pick 3 will be worth a lot. I like our chances with 1% at winning the draft lottery.

Still spewing your Oiler hatred I see.

I think the pick can be out of the top ten (I hope so anyways).

Agreed. If i was the oilers id trade it now knowing there gonna no longer have top draft picks cause other teams may not know that yet

It won't be treated as that special. No GM is going to take that major a risk, it won't land you a top pairing RHD unless that player is drastically overpaid.
