Oilers: Matt Carle
Lightning: Tyler Pitlick, Brad Ross, '16 2nd

This only happens if the Oilers' somehow lose the salary of Nikita Nikitin.

Oilers have trouble getting the first pass. Or even, the quality pass from the defenceman. Carle has a very good offensive ability but can occasionally turn over the puck. I also believe Carle played under McLellan when he was a rookie. There is already chemistry there.

This also allows Tampa Bay to resign Stamkos and Kucherov.

Unfortunately Carle has a no trade clause. I would jump on getting a second for Carle right now

IMO, TB should keep Carle until next summer and trade him then. Cap for this year is fine.
If we can get such a good return without retaining money on him right now, tho, you have to do it.
Like it for both. Play him with Sekera and he'll be a good complementary piece.
