Major trade proposal between the Canadiens and Oilers raised by TSN reporter Ryan Rishaug

According to him, the Edmonton Oilers are potentially interested in acquiring Edmundson, and it makes perfect sense. He is exactly the kind of player that GM Ken Holland wants to acquire before the trade deadline.

Basu mentioned that Kent Hughes would ask for a 2023 first round pick, or a former first round pick, and Rishaug brought up an interesting name: Xavier Bourgault. (a player who was once linked to the Habs).

He also talked about adding young Jesse Puljujarvi to make it work on the salary cap, and besides, according to him, the Finn would be a nice project for the CH's reinvigorated development team. Martin St-Louis could possibly unlock his big potential.

In light of this discussion, see their trade proposal:

Would you do it? Which of the following options would you prefer?
