One trade proposal is a potential return that the Edmonton Oilers would have to pay up for Oliver Ekman-Larsson.<\/p>\n

A report checks any thoughts that Edmonton Oilers fans may have had that Oliver Ekman-Larsson could be an easy get for the team.<\/p>\n

According to David Pagnotta of ‘The Fourth Period’, a return for Ekman-Larsson would not be something along the lines of Andrew Mangiapane and a pick, but closer to involving Isaac Howard.<\/p>\n

Howard, 21, is the Oilers top prospect<\/a>, and has appeared in 28 games for Edmonton this season, and in the AHL has 12 goals and 30 points in 18 games in the minors.<\/p>\n

Mangiapane, 29, has six goals and 12 points for the Oilers this season, in the first year of a two-year contract at $3.6M annually. Mangiapane was drafted by the Calgary Flames under current Leafs GM Brad Treliving.<\/p>\n

Oilers return for Ekman-Larsson would likely have to include top prospect Howard<\/p>\n

If the Toronto Maple Leafs want Oliver Ekman-Larsson, they’d have to give up their top prospect in Isaac Howard.<\/p>\n

Ekman-Larsson, 34, leads all Leafs blueliners with 26 assists and 34 points, named to Sweden’s roster at the World Juniors.<\/p>\n

Howard has just five points in 28 games for Edmonton, but as a rookie shows potential as a top-nine winger, with top-six upside.<\/p>\n

Ekman-Larsson is not the only Leaf linked to Edmonton<\/a>. Forward Bobby McMann has also been linked as a potential option for the Oilers, and someone who could net the Leafs a first round pick.<\/p>\n

Leafs fans had been discussing the potential in recent over the logic of a 1-for-1 deal involving McMann for Howard, something that has been met with mixed feelings from fans.<\/p>\n

Oliver Ekman-Larsson is someone less discussed in trade talks involving the Leafs as opposed to McMann, but if McMann would go for a first or a top prospect such as Isaac Howard, Toronto could get a real haul out of Ekman-Larsson.<\/p>\n

For a team like the Leafs lacking top prospects and draft picks, Toronto’s best outcome is getting all the help they can get in immediately high-upside future options.<\/p>\n
