Edmonton doesnt need another LW
nor does it need another LD
nor does it need any more picks
easy pass since it addresses nothing

We move two valuable piece and get nothing valuable back, EDM doesn't need size any any more
Lucic

Kaissan
Puljujarvi

I'm not advocating the deal is fair but how do you realistically think you don't get value back? Yet consider a defenseman prospect to garner more value then the Wings players?

The deal just doesnt address any of Oilers needs. If they are trading Nurse OR RNH it better be for a RHD that can QB a PP.
Nurse is to Oilers on D is what Draisaitl is to Oilers up front. They are both projected to be very good ie untouchables.. In Nurse's case he is projected to be better than Brendan Smith.
With Sekera and Klefbom on the left side the Oilers just dont value Smith the same as some of the other clubs.

Nobody wants Brendan Smith he is a terrible defenseman. Than you throw in a bottom 6er and a winger we don't need. Why on earth would the Oilers do this? All they are doing is helping Detroit not have to go into a full rebuild.

this would be a step back for the Oilers. Giving up Nurse and his potential would hurt the oilers. And Smith is 12 months from UFA
Damn, that seems like a lot to give up, especially since the Wings' 1st could end up being a lottery pick at this point as far as it seems to me. Granted though, I know nothing about Nurse, so maybe Oiler fans can fill me in how he projects.
That aside, would love RNH on the Wings -- he definitely solves a need for the team with Datsyuk leaving and Zetterberg getting older. Too bad all the Wings have to offer are mostly forwards. Probably don't 'make the best trading partners, unless the Oilers are looking to shake up their forward group.

My point wasn't to address the trade but the outlandish statement that only Nurse + RNH hold value. I agree it doesn't address your needs which is why I didn't advocate the trade.
I want to keep Brendan Smith and he isn't terrible just utilized in an incorrect manner. My whole point was that Sheahan, Tatar, and Smith hold value (not as much as RNH) but your statement fails to debunct my statement or address it in any manner. We aren't great trading partners as we both need help on the blue line.

Pretty bad for Edmonton. I think Sheahan would be an excellent fit in Edmonton, what is a realistic cost?

So the Oilers should send you a good 2nd line center and young d/man with upside for a bunch of pieces they don't need.
does nothing for the Oilers.Aside from Edmonton not needing literally any of the pieces they receive, they also get terrible value
