To Ottawa Senators :
• 8TH Overall Selection in 2019
• RW Kailer Yamamoto
• LW Milan Lucic (6.0 @ 4YR)

To Edmonton Oilers :
• LW Zack Smith (3.25 @ 2YR)

Breakdown :
Oilers get a decent bottom 6 LW who could help out their penalty kill unit and given an opportunity can put up points. Oilers also shed a bad contract and get some cap relief.
A good penalty kill unit would be :
Smith - Khaira
Sekera - Russell

Senators get a TOP 10 pick to help out their rebuild considering they lost their pick to Colorado, and get a promising prospect with speed. Yamamoto can fit on the right side with Tkachuk - White. Senators also get a gritty veteran to protect the young guys.

Cant the Oilers jus buy out Lucic? Would be better than sending 2 1st rounders.

If they buy out Lucic it makes things worse.

Its amazing how hard it is to get rid of a contract like Lucic's. Gm's should beware.

Can’t buy him out but it wouldn’t be hard to deal with if two teams were to retain salary. Say Oil retain 2M the next team would have to retain maybe 1M and they’d actually get something for him.

Oilers in the cap situation they are in, and needing skill up front need that 8th pick. Can't see that pick moving unless it moves them up in the draft. If the deal would go down, I'd say 2019 2nd or 2020 1st would be more so the offer.

The Oilers have nothing to offer to move up. If they move back they’ll be a better team next year and that’s what they need IMO.

That is insane. I get that Lucic is a cap dump, but Oilers should not have to give 8th overall pick and one of their top prospect and only get Zack Smith. Unless Holland is dumb enough to do this, that is a pathetic trade. Ottawa would have to give up their 1st round pick of 2019 (Columbus' pick) and 3rd round pick. Zack Smith is not an upgrade on Lucic.

Ricky d, truth is smith is an upgrade on lucic. Production value is roughly the same but Smith's faceoff value trumps anything Lucic brings to the table and his term and pricetag ups his value (compared to lucic) even more so yeah a top 10 1st and a solid prospect is a small price to pay to get rid of Lucic.
