For what the Oilers are reportedly asking for likely wouldn't trade for any of them. They are a bad trading partner for us at the moment, not just because of rivals, but because what they would want need- top defenseman and top line center- we don't have/want to give up.
Guys who I would want if this is a hypothetical: Hall, Nurse, RNH would be the top 3 by far.
Perron, Eberle, Schultz, Yak are way to dumb defensively and lazy and their offense doesn't come close to making up for that in my view. I don't think they bring near enough to the table to make them positive additions to the team.
The bottom 6 guys plus Purcell and Pouliot who should be bottom 6 are nothing of value so no need for them.
Fayne, Ference, Nikitin, Petry are not upgrades over Smid/Diaz so no thanks.
Scrivens is an upgrade over Ramo as a back-up so I guess I may take him for a 4th or swap with Ramo. Fasth is no good.
The other Oilers prospects including Draisatl have no interest to me at all.
