NHL players arent always the brightest and this shows why being a player doesnt always make you a good GM.

By this logic you should never make any draft picks because there are busts in every round. Or, you should never trade any pick because there have been franchise players in every round!!!

Or maybe he’s making a joke. They also have one of the greatest of all time in his prime so who cares about the late first that may never have an impact and it certainly won’t be a major impact in the teams window.

$1.45m in “Cap Space”… that’s all that matters.

Cap space Tampa opted to not use and instead take that mid-round pick. But they have to pay the money for that sliver of Henrique's salary. And that money Tampa has to pay is about $350,000 in real dollars. Effectively they are buying that pick they get for facilitating the deal

The Oilers should have been after a goalie and a shutdown Dman first. The Oilers window is now and closing fast.

Defense could awlays be better, but take a look how it rank in shot against and high danger shot against.

That right...

A goalie upgrade, not that Skinner can't be good on a specific day, is where they need the most help

It’s smart on behalf of the Lightning but also decent for the Oilers in their current situation. It’s the going rate you look at other similar transactions.
