I see the Oilers making 2 moves for huge shakeup.

1 - This only works if Jones is taken first and Edmonton/Carolina have the next 2 picks (or Drouin and Mackinnon) are still on the table together during picks. Something along the lines of Skinner and McBain for Oilers 1st. Carolina then drafts the combo duo.

2 - Oilers then flip Yakupov, MPS and something type package for Lucic and Krjeci; assuming Boston exits early and wants to "retool" like the Flyers did with Carter/Richards.

Oilers can then go hard at a guy like Horton.

They would just need a defensive D for their top 4 (and a goalie).

Lucic - Krejci - Horton
Hall - RNH - Eberle
Skinner - Gagne - Hemsky

This is all fantasy talk. Would never happen. But the Oilers do have quality assets they can move.
