Sounds like 97 and 29 aren't too happy with how things are going in Edmonton and probably will really need to make a run next year.
Having a 3rd available at the 2021 trade deadline is more valuable to them in the short term than making the selection in this draft.

I'd actually disagree.
Draft picks never have as much value as they do on the days of the draft, so if the Oilers are looking to improve their team for next year, it would make more sense for them to keep the pick this year to acquire a player at the draft to help them now.
