The only way this makes sense for the Oilers is if they trade him away at the trade deadline after inflating his value all year.
I agree. The oilers have done nothing this off season to improve long term. Maybe getting rid of Lucic, but buying out Sekera to sign a bunch of slop to 1 year deals does nothing to help this team long term.

I also can't see any of these guys bringing a good return, unless they play way better than I expect. If that happens the Oilers will probably be in the hunt for the playoffs and won't be sellers down the stretch.
