Oilers are such a genuinely curious group, it's not often you see a complete absence of a logical surplus or trade value throughout their organization.
They have this wild valley between the dudes who you absolutely cannot trade if you expect to get better this year (McDavid, Draisaitl, Bouchard, Ekholm, etc) and dudes who have absolutely no value so it doesn't matter because you're not getting anything for them anyways (Nurse, Frederic, etc).
I keep seeing their local media talk about what kind of package it would take for Saros and it's just absolute trash. They're going to need to get wildly creative if they want to materially improve this roster and I just don't understand how that'll happen right now.
