Comments on: Kevin Lowe doesn’t expect Oilers to trade top pick http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/06/20/kevin-lowe-doesnt-expect-oilers-to-trade-top-pick/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:02:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: govtminion http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/06/20/kevin-lowe-doesnt-expect-oilers-to-trade-top-pick/comment-page-1/#comment-81299 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 15:28:59 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=778221#comment-81299 That’s not as one-sided as it used to be though. He got fleeced on the Kessel trade, period, but he made up for it with the Kaberle trade. Call him 1-1 on dealing with Chiarelli at this point. (The ridiculous Rask trade, of course, can’t be blamed on Burke, but was still funny).

There are several good prospects available, but none worthy of the 1st overall pick. Plenty of options if they trade down.

As for the Leafs, I’m sure they would love to pry Ryan from the Ducks, or Luongo from Van, or the number one pick from the Oilers. The problem is Burkie has poisoned his relationship with these three franchises/GM’s. But I’m sure he will find a willing trade partner in Boston.

Their intentions are pretty clear.

Trade it and bring in some veteran talent. Your pantry is already well stocked.
