Why does NYI do it though? They take on the two worst players in the trade just to give up the two best players in the trade lol.

NYI does it to get out from under Palmieri's $5mil contract till the end of 2025 is my guess. He's only put up 1 Goal and 7 points in 25 Games = 0.28PPG and he's a -11. I think he would be a bad acquisition by the Oilers. If they want to take a big money risk, bring Brendan Gallagher back home to Edmonton instead.

Koskinen +? for Varlamov would definitely be of interest though and if it's Barrie, EDM should bring Scott Mayfield back in return to replace him, as he would be the BIG Shut Down D-Man the Oilers need. I don't see NYI being interested in taking Turris at all.

Otherwise Zach Parise and Prospects Aatu Raty, Samuel Bolduc and Bode Wilde are the other guys EDM could try to buy or pry from NYI.
