Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To Edmonton Oilers: Nazem Kadri (74) + 1st round OTT 2014

To Ottawa Senators: Valeri Nichushkin (69) + 1st round WPG 2014

Accepted.

Nichushkin drew a lot of attention since I drafted him with the 6th overall pick in June. He was untouchable until now. In the past couple days I've sent some GMs a package of players that included Nichushkin to land an elite player. I lowered my standards a bit today and went for Kadri, whom I wouldn't call elite, but still top level. To pull the trigger right now instead of waiting on answers from other GMs, I asked Ottawa to swap picks. Valeri Nichuskin will turn into an elite sniper and should develop into a good hitter too. We all know the value of such a player here.

Thanks Brett and good luck! Enjoy the Russian beast!

No real shot at the playoffs this year so I may as well get a future stud for a now stud. The first swap is to offset the talent difference.

Big thanks Mike for the easy deal.

Approved and entered.
