Stepan has really struggled this year. As has Klefbom.

OEL's contract status makes this a risk for the Oilers.

I think it's intriguing in that neither team would jump at it, but both would consider it.

Oilers get a lot better

I would definitely do it even with OEL's 1 year UFA status

no offense but i didn't see any Arizona fans consider it yet.

if i were an Arizona fan i would hate the offer.

From what I'm reading over on the ARZ boards, they really dislike Stepan so far this year.

I'm offering what I think would be an upgrade at C for them but a downgrade at D, and the chance to extract some long term value from OEL before he hits FA.

Arizona gave up a 7th overall pick for Stepan, they definitely want more back

OEL is their captain/best player

i understand.

it also helps to mention that I'm a fan boy of OEL so there's some bias. lol

RNH and Stepan are about equal.

Klefbom is not where close to OEL. Oilers need to add a top 6 guy or 1st round pick and a prospect as well

Arizona doesn't get substantially younger, nor do they get much in the way of futures in this deal. This would be a strange move from Arizona. If they are going to trade OEL, it signals a pretty substantial shift in their team and I believe they would expect more in the way of future pieces coming their way.

Oilers need to add quite a bit. Probably a Puljujarvi for Phoenix to do it. Not that that’s the gap between the moving pieces. But for Phoenix to move OEL who’s the better player I think thats what it will take.

Derek Stephan has been underwhelming this season and probably the future. Big pass.

OEL can walk after next year and Klef is on a sweetheart deal for the next 4-5 years.
