Given that the Oilers need to find a way to build a proper competitive sooner than later I am fine with trading picks that have a low chance of helping ever, forget about in the next 3 years. Dont waste them but if they are the tipping point for a trade that makes the team better then do it.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm all for moving draft picks to make this team more competitive. But that's not what's happening here. Swapping marginal 3rd pairing defencemen is not going to move the needle.
I get that this will be an unpopular opinion among some around here but the Oilers are not a 3rd pairing defenceman away from being competitive. This team is 3 years away from being competitive and the sooner the organization realizes that, the better.
And the fact that 3rd round picks rarely pan out isnt an argument to just ship them off as sweeteners in random trades for rentals in a season that the Oilers are not likely to even make the playoffs. It's the opposite actually and you should be stockpiling as many of them as you possibly can at this point to try to get some value out of the draft beyond a high first round pick.
