Interesting to hear the Rangers thinking of trading these guys - although maybe not surprising since if not for Trouba's NMC, he would have got moved this past summer. Trouba would be a pretty decent right shot defenceman. Not a perfect player but he does add an interesting element.
Kreider is a great scoring winger and would be an upgrade for sure.
Of course, the cap probably makes this almost impossible for the Oilers to do - the cap hits for these guys are $8MMx2 years for Trouba and $6.5MMx3 years for Kreider and it's hard to see the Oilers being able to clear enough cap in a deal to take on that much salary, even if the Rangers retained a significant amount.
Either might be a decent target on their own though - especially if we could manage some retention, possibly using a third team to help.
