Two high 2018 picks that fit the other teams needs better
Kratsov is a big winger who has a much better chance to make Edmonton due to their shallower winger depth. He obviously wants to play in the NHL and a trade would give him a better shot to do that.
The Rangers depth at center is weaker than their defense and winger pools. McLeod looks ready for bottom 6 duty, he was PPG in the AHL last year.
I think this kind of deal would make more sense for the Rangers than just getting a mid round pick but I could be wrong. I think the Oilers plan on using McLeod as 4C right now but they could move Shore there if a trade like this happened.
