The Senators would get a heck a lot more at the deadline for Karlsson when teams are looking for that extra playoff push, versus the deadline where everyone knows the Sens are backed in a corner with a looming UFA.
Yes for the Oilers it would certainly make more sense to do something at the draft, but Chia will likely do some odd Chia thing and end up giving up what becomes first overall and Dahlin, next year's first rounder and Draisatl for Karlsson and get Bobby Ryan's contract with it.
