Would it? I don't know. Hanifin would be a great add.The + would have to be very significant.
I think thats a great deal for both teams. OEL's contract ends soon so hes not gonna get you much more than HanafinWonder if Canes fans would go for OEL(50% retained) in exchange for Hanifin and a 2nd.
Compared to the other returns proposed here yes "just" getting Hanifin would be a pretty small return.Would it? I don't know. Hanifin would be a great add.
Add Lindholm and Duclair? Feels like being greedy.Compared to the other returns proposed here yes "just" getting Hanifin would be a pretty small return.

Adding Bear wouldn't be a deal breaker but if the package is a 1st, two prospects and Darrnell Nurse Edmonton will want something back with OEL. Duclair shouldn't be a deal breaker for Arizona either. He's not exactly panning out that well there. It would be a gamble worth taking for Edmonton though.Replace Slepyshev with Bear and take out Duclair.
I'd say noSo OEL(50%) for Hanifin+1st? I feel like Canes fans would say no. I feel like most Coyotes fans would too. I'd probably do it.
Hmmm...makes me want to ask Canes fans, but I feel like they're going to tear me to ribbons. Like so much pulled pork. Shred me up and squirt vinegar on my remains.I'd say no

Before more stink of this awful season sticks to him. Also, he's worth a hell of a lot more for a team to get two playoff runs out of him rather than a single playoff run, if they end up not re-signing him. The time is now.I don't think they should trade OEL.
Even if they do, why would they do it before the draft?
Makes sense. I also agree about Heiskanen. He's never played for them. OEL is the same age as their core. Their window is now, and as it stands they aren't close. OEL completely changes things for them. That's worth a pure prospect like Heiskanen. Especially since they didn't even really "earn" him. Just plain dumb lottery luck. That's a chip you can afford to trade in a piece like OEL.Canes fans hate players on short contracts...
Their GM feels the same way according to a few interviews he has given...
Hanifin was completely off the table for Duchene for that reason.
OEL is worth quite a bit more than Duchene but given that the Canes arguably need a Duchene 10x more than an OEL with their amazing defensive core, that proposal probably won't be well received unless he comes with an extension which can't happen for another 8 months...
Has OEL said anything about re-signing?
Dallas and Heiskanen might be your best option but I am not sure I would trade Heiskanen if I am Dallas given how amazing he looks and how much younger and cheaper he is.
I fear that Sakic might put way too much on the table for OEL (Multiple 1sts, one of our top end Ds, fwd prospects, etc.).
McKenzie did say afterall that he is looking to turn around and flip some of the assets (he even mentioned our own pick in addition to that) for a young NHL quality D.
Would be really stupid but I still don't really buy that the Avs are doing a proper rebuild...
I am not sure Makar would be on the table but I shudder to think how much he would be willing to give up if he thinks he can re-sign him.
I just hope OEL makes it clear beforehand that he has no interest in signing any contract with the Avs.
None of those pieces are very appealing to me. They all look like future middle of the lineup pieces.How in the world is Zacha, Severson and a 1st not enough for 1.5 years of OEL service?

They are good pieces to surround one of the Dahlin, Svechnikov or Boqvist.None of those pieces are very appealing to me. They all look like future middle of the lineup pieces.
OEL won't be sticking around after his contract is up. The Yotes won't be getting an elite piece for 1.5 years of OEL. In fact I see OEL getting moved in the offseason for a lesser packageThey're all "good" pieces for a franchise player, regardless of term on OEL.
