Like I guessed above, I think it'll be JP + 10 + Bear for Risto.
Still awful.

I would be extremely happy with this deal.Edmonton Oilers: Canadiens/Oilers Potential Trade Proposal
So would you guys be in favor of this deal or no?

Just my prediction, not what I would like to see.

I hate it when Rishaug brings up these crap rumours because I know on some level it's likely going to happen. I remember him trying to soft-pedal the Hall/Larsson deal.
Ristolainen for Klefbom and 10th overall sounds about right for current Oilers management.
I'm actually happy they're open to a big trade for an impact defenseman because the Oilers have been way too conservative for way too long when it comes to upgrading via the trade market. The only problem is Ristolainen isn't an impact defenseman.
Now, John Carlson? I think that's a really great fit and I'd be more willing to break the bank on that one.
Long term plan....are you crazy?
This is the Oilers....where we see a trend and then react 2 years too late.
League getting bigger, we get smaller and more skilled. League getting faster, we shed the speed and skill and add "truculence".

The Edmonton Oilers? The Edmonton "16 and 33 picks for Reinhart and Hall for Larsson" Oilers?
Conservative in the calibre of their targets moreso than conservative in general.
With Sekera and Larsson, they picked up some good complimentary players, but they haven't attempted to acquire a legitimate top defenseman in almost 10 years. That we know about, anyway.
Id hope Larsson was targeted as a legit top pairing D when they traded for him. Ill give PC the benefit of the doubt on that one
I don't think 10 + klef gets your Risto. Not sure why Buffalo would make that trade.

Top pairing isn't even what I'm talking about. If Larsson is or ever could be a top pairing defenseman, it's pretty clear it'd be as a #2 with a more well rounded partner. We're talking about Oliver Ekman-Larsson, John Carlson, Erik Karlsson. A legitimate top defenseman.
Adam Larsson was not that, has never been that and obviously never will be that. The Oilers have not swung for that #1 guy since the days of Lubo and Souray (unless you count the hopes for Justin Schultz).
Larsson was considered to have a ceiling of Lidstrom a few years ago. Was revered for his passing ability. Obviously he didn't quite get there, looks like a deer in the headlights in the o-zone.
I thunk there's a good reason for that. Such players seldom come available and always cost a king's ransom.
Klef+10 for OEL or Karlsson would be defensible, if almost completely unworkable from a cap standpoint.
You can forget about OEL.
