More than likely Boston didn't want to do business with a past employee.... Shades of the gilmour trade as an example of such a fiasco....

Honestly I doubt there's any team right now that would do the Oilers any favours as 29 GM's probably were pretty ticked off when they won the lottery. I imagine the Oilers probably have to be better on any offer they make to teams as why send your asset to them if another team is offering as good a package.
