Just saw a rumor that the oilers and lightning are working on a trade involving Boyle and Davidson. Not sure how much truth it actually holds (probably not much to be honest with you) but could be an interesting trade to think about?

Why would the Oilers do that?

I know Davidson has been getting interest but I didn't know it involved Boyle.
If I'm Oilers I'd do it, he could fill that third line center spot. And also Oilers don't lose Davidson for free. Also Boyle is UFA so no need to protect him and then they can potentially sign him after if he chooses to.

I think it works boyles 2mil will be off the books next year frees up 600k for tampa. it seems like a plausible depth rental move.

I've heard the Oilers like Boyle and I've heard that many teams are interested in Davidson. But this is the first I've heard the two together. I like it!
Boyle would be an unreal third line center or LW for the Oilers. And Boyle has been one of my favorite bottom six players for many years now. Hope it happens.

Almost every playoff team could use a playoff experienced, gritty player who can play either C or W in their bottom six. So i think that will push his prize up and he could land a more significant piece than a D with 1 point in 21 games.

Gotta get into the mindset that every team loses something for free. If not Davidson, then someone else goes. Kassian, Letestu maybe? Don't get caught up into liquidating an asset just to per say "get something" out of him before the draft.
Someone's got to go. Unfortunately Davidson's the front runner on the Oilers roster.

Hundred percent get something instead of losing him for free what are you saying?
Forwards to protect:
Drat
Nuge
Ebs (if not traded)
Maroon
Kassian
Lucic
Pitlick/ Letestu

So that opens up the possibility of pouliot getting taken or
One of letestu or Pitlick or maybe even fayne. In other words, a replaceable player. You man need to get in the mind set of why wouldn't we want to get something for Davidson, especially something of need (which Boyle fills) and then open the chances to lose somebody that is easily replaceable.

And wow you guys again basing a players value solely on the amount of points he gets? When that's not even his game. Pathetic.

I never said Davidson is a bad player bc he only has 1 point, i just said Tampa could get a better piece/ package than davidson. Tampa needs an offensive D thei 2nd best D in scoring has 14 pts and their 3rd 6pts, and that's poor. But i see from oilers side it would make sense.
