Rough asset management in Vancouver. And the Oilers are semi benefiting from it. I dont know the specifics of each trade, but here is a rough break down
Forsling for Clendening- Forsling was good at WJC and pretty good point totals in SEL. Clending bounced around the league and Oilers signed him for free.
Kassian + 5th for Prust. Prust blows in Vancouver. Oilers got Kassian for nothing. Vancouver loses a 5th for nothing
3rd for Vey. Vey is pretty bad
Pick JV over Nylander with their 1st
Shinkaruk for Granlund
2nd for Bartschi
Theres a couple others. Just a lot of low impact losses.
This is different from before Benning where they lost Lu, Kesler and Schneider for little.
They dropped for SCF (and best team in reg season for years before), to a pretty brutal team pretty past. Sedins are just keeping them afloat
Coughlin? We got Nilsson for some rando BCHLer
At this point, we have to laugh in order not to cry. Well, enjoy the next few seasons guys, we'll be looking up at you from the bottom of the league in no time.
Congrats on actually having an intellectual GM and coach. At least that's one of us.
And yeah, I invite you to lurk on over if you're ever looking for some entertainment. Good times ahead.
McGregor is no longer the head scout. Did you forget that Chia fired the scouting staff.Very similar deal to this trade.
Everyone knows Oilers 5th rounder = BCHLer
Something to with points.Curious what conditions Larsen would have to meet to make it a 4th.
not shocked by that. Both Omark and Hartikainen have had nothing nice to say about the organization since they left
It might be a European thing--dunno
Guys, think about it.
Hunter Shinkaruk for Mikael Granlund
5th Round (Maybe 4th Round) for Adam Larsson
Jim Benning is absolutely killing it. Making water into wine that guy.
(Nobody tell him...)
Edler, Hamhuis, 1st for Benn.Next up a 2nd rounder for Nicklas Backstrom. He's gonna be really confused when he shows up to camp with goalie gear.
Edler, Hamhuis, 1st for Benn.
Then they wonder why he is playing defense..
Very similar deal to this trade.

Sorry to say but word has it that Chia is trying to move #4. We'll see if he does.
