Proposal: Draisaitl for a cheaper 1 C with a + maybe

[TFHockey]

of course he doesnt. it equals out that backstrom is the better piece (currently) and gives us caps space to sign Drai

The Oilers won't take a contract back that they don't want in a Draisaitl trade. Find another way to unload Orpik.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Draisaitl




Staal
Dumba

Gives a young offensive dman with a high ceiling and cheap 1C for the current ELC window

Pass. Not trading Drai for a 32 year old and Dumba.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Value isn't close, IMO. Hard pass from Edmonton.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Can see Montreal sending them Galy a first and something else

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Can see Montreal sending them Galy a first and something else

Montreal minus Galchenyuk and plus Draisaitl means their first isn't worth much. Don't see them having the arrows to get Drai, particularly with Sergachev gone.

 

[McSuper]

Draisaitl




Staal
Dumba

Gives a young offensive dman with a high ceiling and cheap 1C for the current ELC window

Staal is too old to work .

 

[McSuper]

You are accurate with Duchene being lesser, but Seguin and Mackinnon? Probably not.

See where I said a big fat no from Dallas . I said that because value is close but Draisaitl has the size that a team could want . MacKinnon I watched in Halifax and I agree it close but I would take Draisaitl over him .

MacKinnon + Barrie + 2nd for Russell + Draisaitl . Not going to happen as we just overpaid a little to resign Russell for a year or 2 too long

Not a C, but both teams trade from strength to fill their respective lineup



Leon Drasaitl
Anton Slepychev



Max Pacioretty
Brendan Gallagher
Tomas Plekanec (50% retained)

Both possible lineups after trade




Pacioretty-McDavid-Gallagher
Lucic-RNH-Puljujarvi
Maroon-Plekanec-Strome
Jokinen-Letestu-Kassian



Drouin-Draisaitl-Galchenyuk
Hudon-Danault-Lehkonen
Byron-Shaw-Hemsky
Slepychev-Mitchell-McCarron
Holland/Martinsen


As a Habs fan... I take EDM's lineup way before ours

So 2 years from now... Oilers have Gallagher for 2 more years and the Canadiens have Draisaitl and Slepyshev for 6 more years each?

If Patches gets to play with McDavid for 2 years and he exceeds his current production... he will be asking for the moon... as much as Draisaitl is said to be asking for today. The only reason we would trade Draisaitl is due to cap constraints starting a year from now.

At the cost of Draisaitl, Pacioretty makes no sense for the Oilers.

 

[YesCubed]

how about they go back in time and stop themselves from re-signing kris russell so they have money for their actual talent?

 

[Jets]

Trouba + Little or Perreault for Leon D?

 

[Stuzchuk]

Trouba + Little or Perreault for Leon D?

that is a very good offer!

 

[FF de Mars]

Pacioretty + Galchenyuk ? Oilers get two top 6 players earning cheap contracts.

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

Pacioretty + Galchenyuk ? Oilers get two top 6 players earning cheap contracts.

If the Oilers are looking to open up cap space, they wouldn't trade a guy who could potentially make 8 Million for 2 guys making a combined total of 9.4 million next year...

One of the few players I'd be okay giving up Chabot for

Chabot+Turris/Brassard+3rd(don't have a 2nd)?

 

[Eisen]

Yeah he is still a hell of a player but in 4 years, carter could be completely done and Draisaitl could be a Kopitar like Center for another decade. Poor asset management trading them for each other even with a pretty big + going back to Edmonton.

But yeah I don't see them trading within the division anyways.

That's really dependent on where the respective teams see their window, isn't it? A trade like that can work.

 

[Legionnaire]

LEON obviously

You sure? Neon Dion Leon sounds pretty cool.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Draisaitl




Staal
Dumba

Gives a young offensive dman with a high ceiling and cheap 1C for the current ELC window

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Trouba + Little or Perreault for Leon D?

I personally don't want little, but Trouba is an excellent base. I'd be interested in Connor

 

[Rebuilt]

The boy is not in any position to 'demand' 8mil bucks. He can go play in Germany for a while and see how he likes it.

Its true he is a budding star, but hes not worth that and probably will never be truly known if he is his own man as long as he is in Edmonton so he has to eventually accept 7mil superstar 2nd liner money at most.

If he can prove he is Mc Davids version of Geno ..........then he can talk. Until then, shut up.

Sign a 1 or 2-year deal at a moderate price and see how he plays. After that, decide whether to sign him a multi-year, albatross contract or not.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Zibanejad + 1st +(?) +(?).

 

[McSuper]

Pacioretty + Galchenyuk ? Oilers get two top 6 players earning cheap contracts.

Where is the C I asked for in the OP ? Don't try and sell Galchenyuk as a C . I am not buying it . Then there the cap . Those 2 make more then it would cost to sign Draisaitl so we would just keep him

 

[benjiv1]

An extension would have to be negotiated, but I would do something crazy like:

Turris (with extension)
Brown
Choice of Ceci, Claessen, Harpur, Englund, Wideman,

Not sure it would be enough though.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Montreal offers $7.8M X 5 years. We lose a 1st, 2nd, third and keep our assets. Still think he gets sent out of town?

If that's what Montreal is offering for Draisaitl, He will remain in Edmonton as they rather easily match that and gladly match it.

 

[cgf]

I don't think there's any question which centre you'd want going in to the playoffs.

Eh, you're right that it's hard not to pick MacK, but Leon has a case to.

 

[Jim Bob]

You sure? Neon Dion Leon sounds pretty cool.

He needs to make it to another pro league on top of the NHL to be Neon.
