Icon59 Oilers and Sharks strike a big deal

The Edmonton Oilers have acquired John Tavares from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Mika Zibanejad, Rasmus Andersson, Roland Mckeown and their 2018 1st round pick. The Oilers haven't really had a star player since GM savardandjokinen was appointed about a year ago, so we figured it was about time to get one. Tavares joins linemate Jordan Eberle in Edmonton and they will surely start the season together. Tavares should have a rating rise (not that he already has a good one) and is the Oilers star now.

Zibanejad, Andersson, Mckeown and the 1st were tough to give away, but they had to go in order to get Tavares and I'm sure MJK will make great use of them.

Thanks to MJK for the negotiations and the deal, we've been talking for quite a while now, glad we could get something done!

This is the type of deal we were looking for, get a good, younger roster player back in Zibanejad, a 2018 1st and a couple of good prospects. It was Andersson that made me do this deal, we think he'll be an excellent D and is on the verge of cracking the NHL flames on a stacked D.

Good but lengthy negotiations all around on a number of different players but it wasn't until I put Tavaras on the block that we got a couple good offers to consider.

Thanks savardandjokinen for the deal.

I like it for the Oilers.

Mckeown has a lot of depth ahead of him, Andersson as well.

Good work
