Value of: Best Player Your Team Would Trade For the Oilers 2019 & 2020 2nd Round Picks?

[Bryanbryoil]

Every now and then teams get a good return for 1 or 2 2nd round picks. Assuming that we keep our 8th OA pick and instead look to mortgage our 2nd rounders for immediate help, what kind of player(s) would you offer up?

Connor Brown for the later of the 2.

Seems like an overpay IMO.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Do you have to attach salary to those picks?

Fine, Brown and a 5th for the 2nd.

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

Geno Malgin.

Cant blame a guy for trying.

The type of return you’re looking at is Lars Eller-esque, only slightly better.

 

[Colt55]

Alex Steen.

 

[Patagonia]

Kerfoot + Cole

Kapanen is worth about that much. He'd be a great add.


Nothing in this thread so far is enticing...

Kapanen himself was a Late 1ST RD pick who’s made a nice season for himself in the NHL. You need to ground your expectations quite a bit.

Also there’s the whole Oilers/Beggars/Choosers thing.

Connor Brown for the later of the 2.

Connor Brown is getting traded for Matthew Benning this summer.

Either way works. We'll have to shed salary but I'd prefer using these picks just to improve the talent level on our club.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Still hoping for Haula.

No need for Benning. He’s like a 5-7 which we have a lot of. Brown will go for picks

 

[RebuildinVan]

Chris Tanev will be healthy one year right?

 

[93LEAFS]

One Connor Brown for sale....... (Yes, I don't expect you to take it)

Not commenting on this specific valuation but I think Connor Brown would be a great get for the Oil. Fast, spirited, great defensively, prior chemistry with Connor McD, and could be had for relative cheap. I know homer Leafs fans like to bring up his 20g rookie season as reason why you should let us fleece you, but there is legitimate offensive skill there. He's a player who's very much been pigeonholed in a specific role for the past two years as a defensive player and I think he could be a very solid 40-50pt two way guy on a team like Edmonton.

I mean, 2nd round picks are lottery tickets, not even likely NHL players... as an example, it took Edmonton giving the 16th and 33rd overall picks to get back Griffin Reinhart. So I don't think two seconds is gonna get back a superstar.

A superstar? Are you sure your talking about Kapanen?

Or did you think I misspelled Marner as Kapanen?
