Oilers: RnH and 8th overall

Chicago: 3rd overall


Chicago gets a elite Center and a good pick

And oilers gets their future no1 defender (byram)

As a oilers fan i'm all over this trade , what do you guys say? Is it fair/likely?

Nuge isn’t an elite center, if he was you wouldn’t give him up to move up 5 spots. I still think Nuge is a big price to pay to move up 5 spots in the draft. I can see Chicago doing it, even if they don’t want to keep Nuge they can flip him.

Well, I like RNH as well, but to call him Elite is a stretch. by the time Byram is a really good number 1 D, which I think he will be, that's 4 to 5 years away. McDavid needs help now. Better to trade RNH for immediate help I beleive.

i say this is beyond stupid for oilers and you CLEARLY are not a fan.

Clearly not a fan? Haha nah i haven't missed a game in 4 year (missed max 20 games since 2010) and got ryan smyth’s portrait tattooed on my leg.

And why would it be bad? Oilers need cap and can move drai to center he's own line and then trade sekera or Russel .

Then they got 10-11,5m extra cap for wingers.

They got toews and strome 1-2 so don't really need another top2 c. As a Blackhawks fan would like this though. He can play wing and on a lot of prospect rankings byram is 6-8 so Chicago can move back and get whoever's there cause 3-10 it's a crapshoot anywa.

Oilers don’t need a prospect D more than they need RNH. There loaded with D prospects and two that could potentially be top pair. Regardless it’s an over pay to move up 5 spots.

Who is the favourite at #3? I was originally podkolzin, but Byram is enticing or do you grab a center; cozens, turcotte, dach. Then there is a playmates, zebras; goal scorer, caufield; and who knows what kreb could do on a good line or carrying a 3rd line by himself. I am for chicago, not sure why Edmonton would move up when the difference from 3rd to 10th is a toss up. You need to really want someone specific to give up Hopkins for this. There is better assets already in the NHL to trade Hopkins for.

Oiler’s must not make this trade. Is so very bad for the Edmonton Oilers. RNH is such very good hockey player. And I read many times that % that 8 oa is great player or is bust is very same as #3 oa. They are basically the same pick. Is so very true. So that is why Edmonton must not do this.

No from Edmonton. Makes no sense at all and value is off

Zamboni stop Reading what others write and get your own opinion. byram will be much better than the #8

In my opinion byram will be better than Dahlin and he went first.

Swechamp. Everyone can have their opinions. But not a single professional scout I've read has Byram at 3. Not a single one. The highest I've seen is 5 . He is above all the other defenceman in this draft by a bit but in no way is he close to dahlin.

Better then Dahlin? Dahlin is the most hyped defensive prospect ever. No dman was ever as hyped as him coming out of their draft year.

Dahlin was compared to Bobby Orr by some and Lindstrom by most. Doubt Buffalo would move him for McDavid.

Ok, just seen sportsnet has byram at 3 cause of his playoffs, my bad.

Vb if oilers called Buffalo and Said ”mcdavid for eichel and Dahlin” Buffalo would accept in a heartbeat.

No they wouldn’t lol Dahlin And Eichel are a cup worthy core McDavid is abit better then Eichel but not a lot.

i agree with vb, there's defs no defenceman who had more hype than dahlin. However shoots, i have seen EVERYWHERE with Byram going #3. he's supposedly the best d prospect out of the whl since scott neidemeyer (butchered his last name lol) and lots of people are saying Byram is a future #1 dman. So the hype is for sure there.
