Oshie is the better player and his cap hit is only $500,000 higher. Has an extra year on his contract.

I think the trade only makes sense through the lens of "trying to change the mix" in the dressing room.

I'm not convinced that "the right mix" is a real thing, so I'd have kept the better player if I were St.Louis.
