Cloned, you should have probably kept this on the Oilers board, this ain't gonna be pretty.
Lucic is signed for 5 more seasons. Tatar 3.
You'd need to retain a lot more than 1M in order to entice VGK into this.
Tatar hasn't been good in Vegas. Been healthy scratched a few times.
Then add a mid-round pick or B prospect from the Oilers.
3 years younger, 2 years less term and can skate which fits in with the newer NHL. There's just no way a team is letting the Oilers off the hook that easily.
If you're looking at somebody with less term, think somebody like Backes and I don't think the Bruins even do that.
This is just bad... you realize the package that was just given up for Tatar right? Clearly has a lot more value then someone with negative value
Meh, then add a prospect like Benson.
That doesn't close the gap at all.
I'd go as far as a prospect like Benson or a tweener player like Caggiula.
That doesn't get you close IMO. Vegas just dealt a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for him. I doubt that in the span of a quarter of a season that his value to Vegas went from all those picks to one of the worst contracts in the league.

you're acting like that trade was made years ago. It happened 3 months ago. Still a very good chance Tatar rebounds. Even if his value is just a 2nd round pick now, how many teams would give up a 2nd round pick for Lucic???That's like saying the Oilers should ask for Kessel if they trade Larsson. The package originally given up has nothing to do with Tatar's value today, which is pretty damn low.
No way that cuts it for Vegas. Tatar fits more for the way they play, is better, cheaper and younger.
Have fun with lucic then lolI'd go as far as a prospect like Benson or a tweener player like Caggiula.

Edmonton would need retention AND add a pick as a sweetener
You realize he's been healthy scratched throughout a significant portion of these playoffs, right? Again, it's like saying the Oilers should ask for Kessel if they trade Larsson.
