Yeah that's going to be tough to swallow for the Oilers as I imagine the GM would gladly take the trade to move on in a hockey move but there's more to it than that as the optics of a wasted 1st overall will linger. That said the Flames in a somewhat similar situation moved on from Baertschi for the same return and it's worked out for both parties to date.
