Edmonton Oilers: The last trade with every other team
By Jim Lynch
Detroit Red Wings
February 24, 2020
The same day as the Ottawa Senators trade, the team also made a deal with the Red Wings. This is an example of a bad trade overall. Athanasiou did not stay in Edmonton after the 2020 season ended and is now with the Los Angeles Kings where he put up 23 points in 47 games.
Detroit also made another trade on that same day trading for Mike Green. However, CapFriendly lists the Andrea Athanasiou trade as the newer one so I am running with that as the latest trade between the two clubs.
Pittsburgh Penguins
July 26, 2019
Now we officially enter 2019. The Oilers sent prospect John Marino to Pittsburgh. It was the signing rights that Pittsburgh wanted and they eventually signed him to a contract so Edmonton acquired a sixth-round pick from the team.
Marino played in 56 games in 2019-20 with Pittsburgh and he played in an additional 52 games in 2020-21. For a defenseman who now is an NHL regular, maybe Edmonton should have tried to get more out of the Penguins.
Calgary Flames
July 19, 2019
This is arguably the worst trade on this list. Sending Milan Lucic to Calgary for James Neal. Neither has been great and both are drastically overpaid players.
So here are the conditions from this trade: The 2020 3rd round pick is transferred to the Flames if James Neal scores 21 or more goals and Milan Lucic scores 10 or fewer goals than Neal did. The pick was transferred.
