Whey would the Hurricane's give up Skinner who is 20 years old and McBain who is 25, they will both be parts of any Hurricane rebuild. If the Oilers want Skinner they are giving up one of their big 6 players who's name does not rhyme with Blackablov.

My god, that's not going to happen. That something in your package would be a top 3 forward. Boston is not going to trade those two for what your stating. They consider Lucic to be a franchise level player, and Krjeci is far better then MPS.
Those are two deals that the Oilers would have to gut themselves to get.

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.

And a totally unaffordable lineup under a cap system in about a year or two.
