Wow, no from oilers on all of them i'd say. Not trading Drat for hamilton (main piece), #2 is not worth giving up our 1st round pick, same for #3 and the last trade makes an even bigger whole in our lineup if we traded Larsson away (assuming none of these trades happened) . Good ideas but not going to happen.

If we could get Kapanen and Brown for Larsson is a good trade. Adding a recent first round pick in is too much. Leafs probably don’t want Yamamoto anyway - they have a lot of depth at wing already. Kapanen and Brown are middle six players. I don’t think either is a real long term top line player to play alongside McDavid. Yamamoto might just be the best forward here. We should wait and see what we have first before throwing him in as an extra in any trades.

Kapanen has the speed and skill to be a great linemate for mcdavid. Just heard that he has the most goals in the whole league for any player without a powerplay goal. If we put him with Connor and some pp time he would be a 30 goal man easily. I would make that trade for sure. We have surrounded the fastest player on the planet with guys that can’t keep up with him. This guy would be able too. Not many have that speed and a lot of the guys with that speed don’t have the skill to finish, they’re more of penalty killers and checkers. And the Ottawa one is a lot of nothing besides the 1st rounder. Doesn’t seem bad for us.

He’s fast enough to keep up with McDavid. i'm not sure if he has the skills to be a long term partner. But he’s probably better than anyone we’ve been using as McDavid’s wing man so far.

Why would kap not be able to be a long term winger for mcdavid? What other skills does he need to possess that he already doesn't have.

You can’t say Yamamoto might be the best player after he really has done nothing for the oilers and hasn’t been lights out in the AHL. I don’t even know if he will have a higher ceiling than Kap either. I personally would love to get Kapanen but I don’t know anyway oilers could get him tbh that works for both teams (and no we aren’t trading Larsson) .

Why does McDavid need speed on his wings so badly? He needs finishers. And I feel the Oilers can get decent wingers (the least valuable position) without giving up a 20+ minute solid defensive D. I for one am a big Larsson fan and the Oilers can’t afford to lose him.
