Oiler fan coming in peace
there is a good chance the Oilers do trade down from 4 but it won't be for prospects. Chia is openly talking about trades to improve the team right now. As good as your prospects may be, there is zero interest.
The other thing to consider is that we have a huge logjam at Left Defence. Klef, Sekera, Nurse, Davidson, Rheinhart, Musil, Osterle, and Simpson are all LD. There is almost no chance the Oilers move down to down another LD. The 3 top defence prospects in this draft are all LD.
The consensus is that the pick will be moved for a right defence who can contribute now. The Flames could easily be part of a 3 way that nets them the 4th pick. The trick is to find the 3rd partner who gets the Oilers a RD.
