uhhh what? He's literally injured every single year. He's never played more then 70 games in a season. He's missed 72 games the past 4 years, he literally misses on average 18 games a season. Sorry, someone who only averages 64 games a season is definitely a player who is injured often and regularly. Edmonton should not be moving Draisaitl for Horvat and Tanev. Swap out Tanev for Juolevi and its far more fair then Horvat and Tanev.

Yup, that's what I'd do and to keep LD I wouldn't care if I got basically nothing for RNH (you will get something for him but maybe not as much as you were hoping to get).

Yeah, I wasn't trying to say that a bridge is the wrong way to go necessarily. The point is, after a bridge deal you will be in a position of needing to pay a (hopefully) better player than now a higher salary, as well as paying more due to "buying out" more UFA years.
If he has the best case scenario career, Draisatl would probably make more if he took a 3-4 year bridge and really cash in afterward.

Well Scheif is signed at just over 6m for like 7 more years, doubt Drai will sign for anything close to that low value is in the contract

Hmm, what would you think of something like this:
To Edm: Simmonds + Patrick
To Phi: LD + Pulj
Oilers get an ELC center with #1/2 potential and a stud power forward (damn they'd be tough to okay against) and Flyers get what SHOULD be (provided Patrick doesn't go ape **** on the league and turn out better than LD) and a young scoring winger.
Well, the more I think about it I don't think I'd do it from our end

Well, good luck with that. There's only one player in the league an extended Doughty would be traded for. He's on the Oilers, it just isn't Draisaitl.

RNH should be traded before Drai. Though RNH is underwhelming for his contract, if you could get a desperate team like MTL to take him, it'd be a good win for EDM.
Oilers would say no, there giving up arguably the two most valuable pieces in the deal. Nothing against Patrick but we would prefer players who are guaranteed ready now. Patrick might be a year away and Oilers want to take advantage of McDavids last elc year. Couturier+Simmons would make more sense but even then I would still pass. Couturier or provorov are the only players I would want in a deal for Drai or pulj. I doubt flyers fans would like that but hey you gotta give to get.
Maybe it is me but Draisaitl has much more value then Patrick , adding Simmonds doesn't get you Puljujarvi
Patrick + Simmonds for Draisaitl + Benson

Simmonds doesn't have enough term. UFA in two years.
Oilers need some experience at the #2C if it's not Draisaitl - Patrick won't be that guy.
I'd do the deal if Simmonds gives me a 4 yr extension. Nolan Patrick I takes trades bids on and flip him again

maybe not equal in value if they were the same age and contract status.
Oilers don't take on Doughty for LD due to his contract status. UFA in 2 years

I guess I just have to keep posting this...
Seguin, 21 points in 49 playoff games.
Daisaitl will reach 21 points at around 16 games
Seguin can't shine Draisaitl's shoes
You're forgetting the part where Seguin has won a cup. I'd rather have the cup than a guy that scores 3ppg in the playoffs
Also, you're judging Drai on WAY too small of a sample size. Tarasenko had 10 goals in his first 13 playoff games when he started out. It wasn't sustainable. Just like Drai's 27.3% shooting percentage isn't.

I think Drai-Barkov would be a good swap. FLA adds more offense, EDM more defense.
I would be weary of MacKinnon, but that swap isn't a terrible deal, Drai was able to work with McDavid because of his very high hockey IQ, Mackinnon's biggest weakness is his IQ, I don't think he would mesh with McDavid all that well.

That was the thinking, Scheifele might have the best long term contract in the league and there are still question marks about Draisaitl being able to consistently drive a line that doesn't have McD on it.
It's not like seguin is why Boston won that cup other than an insane game or two
