Proposal: Rakell to Edmonton

[NoTeamGang]

To Edmonton: Rakell
To Pittsburgh: Arvidsson, Henrique, Savoie, 2026 1st

Oilers clear out a lot of bad cap, add a versatile scoring winger on a great deal for the next few years, and the Pens get well-compensated in futures for helping them out.

Swap out Savoie for Berezkin and Petrov

Don't see it. Another winger past age 30, the Oilers have more pressing needs, specifically in net.

IMO they’d be best served trying to find the next Stolarz, Thompson, Lindgren type. An undervalued 2nd or 3rd stuck behind a more established starter.

You’re more likely to find a gem bargain hunting with goalies than at any other positions. Save the premium trade assets for top 6 forwards, top 4 D, maybe a 3C if the value is there.

Keep stat watching.

Wait, if we're talking about his valie as a goal scorer, should we not look at the number of goals he scores?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

He had 15 goals all of last year, that's not the definition of a sniper.... Yes, I know that he once scored 30, but that was like 50 years ago.

He scored 28 the year before last.
