The Oilers had to make this move and I agree with those that there is an addition by subtraction thing here.
Also, it's not even remotely close to the worst trade in history, Flames have two that I say were way worse:
Phaneuf for scraps;
Gilmour for scraps.
At least the Oilers have a potential core piece in return.
Flames got nothing.
