EDM - Lucic (2M retained), 2019 1st (8th)
NYR - Shattenkirk (1M retained), 2019 1st (20th)

Each team swaps bad contracts, obviously Lucic is way worse. The Rangers move up 12 spots into the top 10.

I think if Lucic has salary retained he could be flipped for a mid pick. Not sure exactly sure how much the Oilers would need to retain and how much New York would to flip him.

Not bad to be honest. Tough pill to swallow with Lucic and his term but for the next two years he is making 1.6 less giving a bit more of room. I would do it as a Ranger fan.

This has the makings of a good trade, but I don't think Edmonton would be wise to give up #8 pick to do it though. Perhaps 2019 2nd and 3rd / 2 seconds might make it a done deal.

You’re crazy if you think a couple 2nd round picks will make a team take Lucic.

I think cut the retention from Shattenkirk and its good tbh.

Cause Shatty is still a decent enough player. Just not worth his 6.5M, but worth more than Lucic.

Lucic at 4M + #8 for #20 is fair, Shatty isn't negative value, he's just overpaid.

I think it’s good for both teams even with retained salary on Shattenkurk. Vasili Podkolzin would be an huge add to the rangers.

I’m not really getting your argument TTS. If they both had good contracts then it would be a no way from Edmonton. But neither of them do.
Lucic at 4M doesn’t have that much negative value IMO. At 3M I’d say he actually has decent value as a bottom 6 physical veteran cup winner.
If Shattenkirk is over paid then I’d say he actually does have negative value, just not as much as Lucic.

Is so very original. But can we afford this? With $2M retained on Lucic plus Shattenkirk at $5.75-$6.75, depending if retention, is makes now $7.75-$8.75 for two years for Shattenkirk. And we drop so many places in the draft.

I do not think is such good trade.

With the retention I suggested the Oil lose 1.5M in cap space. But they fill a spot on the RD making Russell and his 4M tradeable. They get there puck moving PP guy for a short two year term that’ll be perfect for when all the D prospects are ready.

Yeah, i was just thinking that Lucic is still the worse player compared to Shatty in general. Cause when both are at full salary, I’d take Shatty, even if you retain 1-2M on Lucic, I’d still take Shatty. Both aren’t great, but Shatty still has a chance to rebound since its not like the game passed him by (in terms of speed) . that's why if NY retains on Shatty and EDM retains a bit more on Lucic, NY gets the far worse player (likely Lucic ends up like Beleskey tbh) .

I did think it was close though. I j don't know if anyone would retain on a player going the other way in a Lucic trade.

Difference between making Russell expendable and tradable. Shatty might be able to fill the spot (not particularly well in a top 4 role right now I don’t think) but I don’t see teams lining up for Russell at 4 mill.

This looks good on paper, however the thing people always forget is human factor. If shattenkirk isn't living up to his paycheque in New York (The team he specifically wanted to go to), how do you think he's going to perform in Edmonton, i believe a team he specifically did NOT want to go to when he was leaving St. Louis?

If I'm Holland, no way I would let the Rangers have 2 pick with the top 10 pick from this draft. The Rangers have already so much young guys with so much potential.

EDM : Lucic, 2nd round pick 2020, 3rd round 2021
NYR : Shattenkirk, 5th round pick 2019

* Lucic has 4 years at 6mil
* Shattenkirk has 2 years at 6,5mil.
