Confirmed Trade: [PHI/EDM] Flyers trade 32OV pick for EDM top-12 protected 1st in 2025

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

That's a solid deal for the flyers. Going to be better than 32nd more than likely.

I like it for the oilers for the future is now, and those next two picks are most likely 32 or later anyways. (Don’t count expansion out)

This is a weird trade.... Edmonton seems to have gotten fleeced - they likely gave up a pick in the 20s for the #32 pick in a bad draft, and have lost 2 first rounders to trade during the rest of the McDrai window (ie, until the 2025 pick is tranferred, the 2026 pick can't be moved, either)

I don’t get it. That 1st rounder was more crucial at next deadline more than anything.

I thought this too, but conditions for the trade were actually

"If the pick does not convey to the Flyers next year, the pick in 2026 will be unprotected. If the Oilers trade their 2026 first-round pick, the Flyers will automatically get the pick in 2025."

Thanks, might not be too bad, if Edmonton is doing well they could still move the 2026 pick, then.

I'd suggest looking up rookie age debut for players drafted outside the top 20

24 in your mind?

So I'm taking it you didn't even bother to look it up before responding

 

[ChaoticOrange]

You guys know you can trade prospects right?

Edmonton turned their last 32nd overall (plus) into Mattias Ekholm.

Why don't you share those statistics if you have them so readily available? And make sure you're sharing 1st (and to be nice let's say 2nd) round picks.

I specifically stated players drafted outside the top 20....INCLUDING all the 18 year old rookies, the average age is 21.4, outside of the first it drops to 22.8

Now to your credit I did say 5-6 years which would have put it at 23

For those curious...all random stats like these are available on statmuse

 

[Bounces R Way]

Edmonton convinced they just drafted their own Easton Cowan

We're talking about a player drafted in the 1st. You're shifting the goal posts to help your bad argument.

Am I? Until recently 32nd overall would have been second round

Last I checked, it happened today in the 1st round.

Haha okay there champ, have a good day

 

[archangel2]

i have never seen anyone persuasively quantify the present day value discount of a future draft pick but next year's pick is definitely worth less than this year's equivalent pick. a year is a long time for a prospect

If I am reading the deal right. It could be this years 32 for next years 13th? Is that correct. There is a big difference between those two drafting spots. For me this draft class is very underwhelming and lacking. I do not think we are comparing 32 to 32 here. I do not see the Oilers duplicating their success in the playoffs next year. Oilers are in a win now mode, I assume, and the player they took may not be ready for their roster for like 5 years.

old timers will point out that up till 2000 32 was a mid second. Allcomes own to perspective

I'm not sure referencing drafts from a quarter century ago have much relevance today.

could be. the oilers are gambling otherwise. i am not suggesting this years 32 may be more valuable than 13 but maybe it is better than 24 or so. depends also on how strong they think the prospect they got is year on year.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I'm assuming Edmonton's scouting department had Sam O'Reilly much higher than 32nd (probably mid 20s) for them to do this deal. I'm not going to get hung up on 32nd for a 1st. It's Sam O'Reilly for the 1st. The team must have really wanted this specific guy.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Surprising they'd burn a premium asset right in their window but I guess they love the player they got.

They had some good options with that pick but Im not crazy about O'Reilly, I like his game but don't see the upside to make that kind of move for him. Prob a 3/4C.

 

[Bgav]

LMAO oilers

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Broberg and Holloway showed how important developing prospects is for a cup run. The plan (who knows if they can actually do it) is likely to re-up McDavid, Draisaitl, and Bouchard, so they'll need low-cost talent to supplement the lineup. The cupboards are bare right now, so this gives them a 1 year head start. It could blow up in their faces spectacularly, but they are obviously confident that they can go deep in the playoffs again next year.

 

[Stealth1616]

Time value of draft pick

 

[LandfiII]

This is what happens when there’s no GM in place to make a trade, seems the fresh loss from the cup has Edmonton betting on themselves.

The Oilers would have to win the Cup next season for them to win this deal.

Ya win some ya lose some

It'll come out same in the end

 

[LandfiII]

Haha okay there champ, have a good day
