A few Oiler trades:

Oilers: Neal (2 x $5.75 m) + 1st Rd Pk 2022
Ottawa: Watson (2 x $1.5 m) + Gudbranson (UFA at 4 m)

Oilers: Kassian (3 x $3.2 m) + Jones (1 x $875 RFA)

Better to keep the 2022 pick i think. I don't think anyone is expecting an Oilers run, and Watson isn't the missing piece. Next year they have klefbom back, and neal is easier to move at 1yr. Plus I think neal will help with playoffs this year.

Neal has 2 years after this season at $5.75.
With the flat cap, that money in the off-season could get you a great and impact player. A 1st run pick player in 2022 won’t be ready to play at least till 2024 or 2025.
Plus, there is something wrong with Neal. Since he got c.v., he isn’t the same player from last year.

Watson on like with Khaira and Kassian would be a scary 3rd line. Gus arson is a UFA after this season and would be good 3rd pairing and a physical presence.

A first round pick is prolly the going rate to get off of Neals contract. Ottawa is a good trade partner, but for some reason they like Gud. I could see a trade like this being done in the offseason where Ottawa just takes a first and Neal similar to the Marleau trade.

I'd be ok with this. But curious what the 2nd trade is? It looks like it was cut off lol
