Wideman for McDavid. Straight across.

But it has to be done now for it to work.

Doing what they can to keep Draisaitl on McDavid wing...

Seems like a pretty terrible consolation prize to a guy like Boyle

Desharnais has been a whipping boy for Habs fans. Oilers were likely to lose Davidson in the expansion draft

Desharnais is 5' 7" 171 and is below 50% on the faceoff dot. Exact opposite of what they need. Thanks Chia!

Well the Oilers didn't want to lose Davidson in the expansion draft. Instead they decided to weaken their D-core to add another small, nonphysical, purely offensive player who is a UFA at seasons end and will walk for nothing.

...wait.

I heard he hasn't been that great lately, but this still seems odd.

Are they....'going for it'? Is Drai and McD really that crucial to keep together? What is this?

There has to be something else in this trade. Picks or something?

So, I should mention that Davidson is pretty good now that he's been traded away by Edmonton right?
