remember, trading away Barrie (who at the time had 43 pts in 61 games) cost Reid Schaefer, a 1st and a 4th to get Ekholm and a 6th...
I REALLY like Ekholm. I still think Nashville won that trade.
Likely Yamamoto and a 2nd for a 2nd and conditional 5th.

While it was a heavy cost, I don't think it was a big win for Nashville at this point. A lot will depend on how he ages over the next 3 years - at 33 he's no spring chicken and the wheels could definitely come off.

That said, we have a very narrow window to win now, and none of Reid Schaefer, the 1st or the 4th were going to be significant pieces in that time frame - especially if the team continues to finish in a spot where we'd be picking in the late 20s.

I'd trade away all the draft picks at this point if it improved the team in the next two years enough to seriously conte.

As for Barrie - yes, he brings some offence, but he's a challenging player because you have to insulate him on defence. He is a better RD than Desharnais though and we did miss him on the third pairing a little more because that's who the Oilers decided to replace his contributions with - with Ekholm basically bumping Broberg out of the lineup other than as the 7th guy. That's more of a coaching decision.

The upgrade from Barrie to Ekholm was worth a significant number of assets, and having Bouchard where he's at mitigated the loss of Barrie almost completely. Bouchard actually scored at a higher rate than Barrie on the PP, and that rate was astronomical in the playoffs.

I expect the return on Yamamoto to be extremely underwhelming, if we aren't giving up a future pick or swapping a higher pick for a lower one in order to flush him.

Worth noting, the Oilers should STOP FLIPPING LEAKING this stuff. What benefit is it for the team to have Yamamoto know they're close to a deal to sell him for his cap room? What happens if it falls through? Just brutally stupid that they never understand this.
