Even more likely that the Coyotes draft Dahlin and keep OEL. Any OEL trade to the Oilers starts with Drai coming back, FYI...It's more likely that the Oilers win Dahlin than the Coyotes trade OEL to Edmonton.
Nobody trades a Drasaitl-caliber player for a guy that close to UFA. Especially not the Oilers, who are not known for being a prime UFA destination.Even more likely that the Coyotes draft Dahlin and keep OEL. Any OEL trade to the Oilers starts with Drai coming back, FYI...
An extension will be agreed to before any trade. For the Coyotes to get value, the Oilers or any other team will know they have an extension that will be signed right after the trade. The coyotes are going to sign him, and if not he won't sign long term with the Oilers, so it will never happen anyway.Nobody trades a Drasaitl-caliber player for a guy that close to UFA.

Isn't OEL a UFA at the end of next season?.....any blockbuster would be a big risk unless they're absolutely convinced he'll re-sign in Edmonton. It's basically the same reason Buffalo couldn't get value for Evander Kane.....nobody is going to cough up valuable assets for a rental player.Oliver Ekman-Larsson (unsigned), Christian Fischer

The problem here is the 1st is a 2019, and I understand why when you're giving up Klef and Puljujarvi, but next year Arizona will start with both of those players and not really be better off, so this trade is making them wait an extra year for a prospect that can fall anywhere in the first round and either be NHL ready, or years away. I think Arizona is tired of waiting and stocking up on prospects for the future, if they trade OEL, it needs to be in a package that makes them immediately better. Just my two cents since I'm not a Coyotes fan.
OEL was an interesting target, but it seems the team has turned around, so this is no longer and interesting trade target imo.It's more likely that the Oilers win Dahlin than the Coyotes trade OEL to Edmonton.
They're not trading for futures they're trading for 2 young NHL players
