They get an NHL ready mobile defensive defenseman with size and still get one of Chychrun, Juolevi or Sergachev.
Flames get Dubois.

From having talked to some informed Oiler fans I think their response would be that they need RHD badly. Personally I think they could use a Wotherspoon type but they all seem fixated on adding a RHD. My one friend said he'd rather have a 2nd rounder than add one of our LHD prospects (I proposed Hickey). He did seem interested in Kylington though.
Trading for a LHD and then drafting another LHD leaves them with zero RHD still. You gotta wonder how much Wideman/Nakladal/Engelland would interest them in perhaps a slightly more expanded deal given they have no righties.
Their biggest needs:
-top pairing d-men
-RHD of any variety
-powerplay quarterbacks
Out of the guys in our system they'd probably want Andersson or Kylington the most due to their puck moving and powerplay abilities. I think they'd have to add to get either guy. I think Wideman and Nakladal might interest them because they are both RHD and powerplay QBs.
