It's widely known that once the rebuild begins, Travis Konecny will be a highly sought-after player in the trade market.

Konecny is a winger who managed to maintain a point-per-game average this season, despite being under John Tortorella's leadership. Many teams will be eager to acquire him.

Trying something different..

EDM trades:

� Kailer Yamamoto
� Raphael Lavoie
� 2024 1st rd pick
� 2025 3rd rd pick

PHI trades:

� Travis Konecny ($1M retained)

The question is, what would the Edmonton Oilers need to offer in order to get Konecny? In one hypothetical trade, they would need to give up Kailer Yamamoto, top prospect Raphael Lavoie, and a 2024 1st and 2025 3rd-round draft pick to acquire Konecny.

This trade seems fair, as Konecny is a valuable player who could contribute to a team's success right away, while the Flyers would receive promising prospects in Lavoie, and Yamamato who could benefit from a change of scenery. What do you think, is this a fair trade?

From LeBrun/Russo/Duhatschek's latest article on the Athletic:

� Brett Pesce may be traded this summer if Carolina can't meet his contract demands

� Flyers are listening on Konecny and Edmonton is listed as a potential suitor

Count me in for both.
