Even if we don't hire him, which is preferable, he'd be a likely target. The guy is as buy-low as it gets and fits our needs to a tee.

You are not getting Subban for RNH alone .
8th OA for Kadri . He better then RNH and he a pest . Plus it saves us 1.5 million in cap
RNH for Zucker or RNH + Larsson for Subban
Benning for Brown
Draisaitl McD Kassian
Zucker Kadri Brown or
Benson Kadri Puljujarvi
Klefbom Subban as a top pairing

****ing gross. I like Zucker a lot but he's barely cheaper, had a piss poor year and then we bring in Kadri to take suspensions when our team needs him most. RNH + Larsson for Subban is pure crap, Nashville's fans have said that his play took a hit this season and there's no telling whether that's a one off or the start of a trend.
Way too much risk in these trades outside of the Benning one.

A stop gap PP guy like Colin Miller would be a terrific addition. He's not a perfect player, but he is exactly what we need for the same price as Russell. Former teammate of Nurse to boot. Sign me up.
Subban is about to turn 30, put up 30 points this year and makes 9 Million a year for 3 more years. No thanks.
Playing on the second pairing. He’s living off his past rep for some people advocating to acquire him.

Only thing id want Subban for is to replace Drew Remenda
Not possible . You can only retain 50% max . I would not do any more then 1/3 so 2 million cap hit . His real money will be 16 million over 4 years after his bonus is paid . Retaining 1/3 and they getting Lucic for 10.333 million over 4 years with a 4 million dollar cap hit . I think Lucic at 2.65 million a year has some value
Nashville fans has said his play never dropped off he was just injured . Just hasn't fully recovered . Larsson is also playing like crap . Also Kadri is a better shutdown centre then RNH and a better goal scorer . If you are talking about liking a player . I much rather have RNH over Subban ( I think he is an asshole ) Or Kadri whom I always viewed as a me first player . Even his contract negotiation have been difficult . Like I said I would rather do the 8th OA Russell for Zucker + the 12th OA . The 12th OA for Kadri
RNH McDavid Draisaitl . Loaded 1st line
Zucker Kadri Puljujarvi . Leave Puljujarvi there and let him develop chemistry . That 2nd line brings a lot more to the table then we have now
If I was the GM . I would draft at 8th OA . Then focus on moving contracts . I make a call to every GM and let them know you are open for business but it has to be cap for cap

Acquiring Kadri would be decent. I would run nuge on the second line still . Kadri would play 3rd line C with more minutes shuffled in like how Connor and Leon are utilized.
Puljujarvi should play in the AHL and develop there unless he actually gets top 6 minutes and is ready for the challenge.

I still want him on the Oilers. Would look unreal on the top line

We don't want Subban imo.. we have Bouchard. Patience people. Lets get some players for the top 6
Dazed and Confused
Ludicrous speed, GO!
The length of his contract is one of the reason I like the idea of Subban. Takes him to only his mid-30's, and the perfect transition point for guys like Bouchard to step up.
He's expensive, but the Oil have pieces they can send back to balence the cap (think Sekera).
Plus even if Subban isn't the player he once was, he's still an upgrade on what the Oil have; and adding someone like him still gives the defence some major credibility, instead of leaving it looking like a patchwork solution.
Nurse-Subban
Klefbom-Larsson
Russell-_____
Everyone's in a role they can handle, and you've got the perfect defence to insulate the young talent like Bouchard, Jones, Bear, And Lagesson as they look to break into the NHL over the next year or so.

The problem with Subban is Nashville will almost certainly want the 8th overall pick or maybe even more likely Bouchard + 1 of Klefbom/Nurse/Larsson.

I think if you could do something around 8th overall and P.K. Subban, it would make sense for both teams.
However, due to Subban's salary, it's almost impossible for the Oilers to pull off. One of Sekera or Russell would have to go to Nashville and then you're still way off in matching the money.
A Subban/Larsson/Bouchard (Or Bear, Persson or Benning, competition!) right side though is pretty awesome, probably the best right side the Oilers have had in a long time.
I think Colin Miller is a much more attainable guy to go grab. Cheaper, young, signed, can move up and down your pairings. Considering Vegas scratched him a few times this year, I think he'd be available for the right price. He has a few defensive gaffes but frankly, he's pretty solid and underrated.
