Oilers trade for Keith was a very good trade for the oilers just for Keiths locker room presence. Oilers worst trade is trading back in the 1st round in 2021 to get a useless extra 3rd round pick causing them to pass on the #1 goalie in the draft - Jesper Wallstedt
The Keith trade was supposed to be extremely good as he was set to retire and the cap implications according to how the CBA was structured was going to be incredible for the Oilers, but the NHL step in after and eliminated it.
The Burns trade was way worse than the Hill trade. Grier gave up a 1st pairing defenseman and retained salary for nothing! The Sharks gave him away for free! Do people forget this?!
I always wondered if Aidan Hill would have ever hit his stride if he stayed in SJ. I was punching the air when he came out of nowhere and led Vegas to a cup.
Just gonna assume it’s the OEL trade for the Canucks lol. All those deals were expiring and they brought in an albatross in return, while giving up a 1st round pick. That was ridiculous. If the trade had to be made, we should’ve gotten a high pick for taking on such a ridiculous contract and helping Arizona open up so much cap space that following Summer. Benning was such a dumbass. 🤦♂️
@@MikeBartner I know buddy but I think the trade itself was ass for the Sens. But of course every Sens fan would trade kubalik, debrincat and some picks for a Top 10 goalie
Sharks fan here.. I'd go with Burns instead, all the assets we got back for him just evaporated into nothing. I'm actually ok with that though, for all that Burns did in SJ it was owed to help him land on a legit team to finish his career, even if it cost us a little. No sweat off my back. Adin Hill? Stings a little that he worked out so well for Vegas, but guaranteed when he was traded nobody in SJ felt it was an underpay.
@@MikeBartner Sure, because they were probably only talking to like two contenders that could make it work and Burns would accept. You retain 34% and make Burns available at $5.2m to the rest of the league and they probably actually get something measurable in return. CAR gave up nothing, I'd be shocked if they don't do that trade 1000x over and Grier didn't really even have to do it, it was for Burns. And going back to Adin Hill - on what planet would they have been able to sell him higher? Can't judge one on how things worked out in hindsight and not the other, and to reiterate, Adin Hill wasn't a franchise player.. no offense to him but literally nobody in SJ cared when he was traded.
I am so looking forward to Provorov being gone by the trade deadline. That dude was such a liability at times last year and hopefully he plays well enough under Evason to get us a decent return and free up a space for Mateychuk
Kinda sad that as an Oilers fan before watching this video I have no idea if it's gonna be the Wallstedt pick trade, the Athanasiou trade or the Keith trade. We've had so many bad ones. (I would probably pick the Athanasiou one personally cause Brock Faber and Aaty Raty would be nice to have)
@@MikeBartner toffoli was old, slow,one dimentional player on expiring contract. The Devils traded young fast player for 4 months of Toffoli and after 4 months of the last season Devils didnt have both. Worst trade for the Devils in a long while. Allen trade was OK.
@@MikeBartner Kings trading Toffoli away in 2020 2 days after he scored a hat trick was disastrous. A rule for whoever team has Toffoli: win for whoever team gets him, lose for whoever team trades him away. He may not be top 10 in the whole NHL, but no matter what team trades him away, they always get way less in return
@@jameskingscomicsandenterta3504 "no matter what team trades him away, they always get way less in return". Tell it to Calgary. They must be furious with what they got for Toff😅
