Walker and Kempe would both be intriguing. What would the cost be for one or both?Any Interest in Adrian kempe ?, Sean walker could easily play ur 2nd pairing rd spot Quick might be able to be talked into leaving. As for ur 4th line Wagner Frk Lizzotte all available NO reasonable offer denied all reasonably priced to go
A top four D? To replace whom? That's quite the assumption three games into the season.
I'd probably step in and say that an impactful third line center is probably pretty high on the pressing needs if the team's looking to make an impact in the playoffs. But that's just me. That Foegele - Ryan - Kassian line is more fourth line than third line in my eyes.
To add to the OP though, Yamamoto and the picks are at the top of the list when it comes to trade capital. Guys like Lavoie and Samorukov could possibly shake loose if you're offering some quality and some term.

The Oilers have a plethora of middle pairing defensemen in Barrie/Keith/Ceci, which is fine, but in that kind of model I’d rather force Koekkoek/Russell out of the lineup permanently and have a veteran Top 4 guy playing on the third pairing so we can truly play defense by committee. This way there aren’t any obvious weak links on any pairing.
I think Foegele / Ryan / Kassian is a legitimately good third line.

Preferably something that doesn’t cost all of our top 5 prospects and our first round picks for the next few years, lol.A package of Rakell, Manson, Gibson, and Deslauriers would address all 4
I am thinking kempe for 2nd and bourgault or mcleod 3 rd and samorukov for walker For both I like broberg and a 2nd Now feel free to counter offer if its to expensive.

Habs could trade Chiarot for late first pick? If you draft in top 16, we get your 2nd and a 2nd in '24?

His skating is decent for a rugged dman. He can also jump up when needed and get back in position. I actually thought of Chiarot being a good candidate for the Oilers at the deadline. Gives them a dman who can play 2nd pairing and isn't afraid of top minutes as seen with Weber in the playoffs. So if the Oilers got in a bind he'd be able to help reduce the issue of say injuries.
I am not sure how goalie is not a pressing need right now. Its 1,2 and 3 on the list there.
Gibson for Yamamoto, Koskinen, Samorukov an 2022-1st

It’s not as pressing as it was before the season started because both goalies have actually played well.

Dumba, Fiala, 2022 1st, 2023 1st for Drai+Shore
Ugh. We wouldn't even consider moving Draisaitl with Kaprizov coming back.

It’s not as pressing of a need as it was before the season started. That’s not wrong.
I didn’t say it wasn’t a need anymore.
Would Petry welcome coming back though? He'd look great next to Nurse but we'd also have to send equal cap with term back to afford him so I don't see how this is feasible.
How is it less. Smith is injured. Koskinen hasn't proven he's rebounded from last season playing relief in a partial game. That's crazy talk. Goaltending was an issue before Smith went down.

It’s not as urgent because Koskinen isn’t putting up .850 performances so far like he was to end off last season. And Skinner didn’t give up 6 goals on 20 shots (or whatever it was against Ottawa) in the preseason. Thus the Oilers aren’t facing the same type of urgent pressure to acquire a goalie (read: they don’t have to give up Samorukov and a 1st anymore).

Edm is all about the goalie. Mcd ,Leon, more than good enough make up for 4th line depth 2rw needs.
Trusting Mike Smith to complete a Roloson redo in the playoffs is sketchy at best. If Chicago falters, I am looking at Fluery hard and see if anything is in the tank.

I proposed this trade back in June:
Proposal: - EDM | LA
A lot of Kings fans didn't want to trade him. What's changed?
Soo far? Koskinen has yet to even start a game. Skinner has yet to play a regular season single minute. Your reasoning holds zero logic. Sorry
Smith was at minimum expected to at the least split the starts if not play more than Koskinen. I'd obvious lean to more since we tried to upgrade and move Koskinen while Smith got rewarded with a 2 year deal. Smith being on IR absolutely makes the goaltending picture more complicated.

Assuming the Habs continue to suck you could prbly get Chiarot at 50% ( 1.75 mill). But would likely be pricey given what Savard went for last year.
