💥 JUST $249,166 STANDS IN THE WAY? The real obstacle to the Oilers landing Drake Batherson isn’t what fans think… 😱 Read more ⬇️

🚨 OILERS BLOCKBUSTER BREWING? 🚨

One surprising number is making a Drake Batherson-to-Edmonton trade look far more realistic than many fans first believed.

With the Oilers sitting just $249,166 away from fitting Batherson’s $4.975 million cap hit, salary cap space may not be the biggest obstacle after all.

The real questions are even bigger:

🏒 What would Ottawa demand for its 33-goal scorer?
💰 Would Batherson agree to a long-term extension in Edmonton?
📈 Should the Oilers commit more than $10 million per season to keep him?

If a contract extension were already in place, would you be willing to trade a 2028 first-round pick to bring Batherson to Edmonton?

One number makes a Drake Batherson trade more realistic for the Edmonton Oilers than it initially appears:

$249,166

That is approximately how far Edmonton currently sits from fitting Batherson’s full $4.975 million cap hit.

But the cap space is not the real obstacle.

What would Ottawa demand for its 33-goal leading scorer? Would Batherson sign an extension in Edmonton? And should the Oilers risk paying more than $10 million per season to keep him?

Would you trade a 2028 first-round pick for Batherson + if an extension were already agreed upon?
