Proposal: Edmonton - Carolina

[McWeber]

But if Faulk > Drai and Aho > Nurse it clearly shows that the gap between Faulk and Nurse is larger than that between Drai and Aho

Still don't see how Aho > Nurse. Pretty sure Faulk>Drai could be up for debate too.

That second proposal, where do I sign?

That's because you are looking at it in a vacuum. Slavin, Hanifin, Hainsey in the NHL now, with Fleury, Carrick, and Bean in the system. A young, unproven LHD like Nurse doesn't hold much value from Carolinas standpoint.

I get that u could contend the oilers don't need Aho either and I get that, but Canes fans didn't make the OP

It's really not. Drai for Faulk is a deal the Canes lose pretty easily, but might make because they can replace Faulk from within in-time but don't have a potential 1C with the characteristics that make Drai appealing and few other ways to acquire one.

1D>1C
1D (a much-bigger >) potential-1C

Can't say I agree with the OPs idea either, Id rather wait for a top 4 RHD to become available than overpay to try and pry someone from their team. Everyone always has their players they love or hate though.

No way canes consider either deal. They have no need for any of our D. Could see something based around draisaitl for Hanifin though. That would really address a need for both teams.

No it wouldn't. Hanifin is a LHD, which Oilers are abundant in. He has the potential to be better than Klefbom, but that isn't going to come too soon yet, and is unnecessary.

Gauging the value of these deals.

Ryan Nugent Hopkins + Darnell Nurse
for
Jordan Staal + Noah Hannifan

Or

Leon Draisaitl + Darnell Nurse
For
Justin Faulk + Sebastian Aho

Gives Carolina their Number 1 Centre + a great d man for a number 3 centre + a great d man

Both are bad for Carolina

no additional comment on #2
Draisatil would have their interest, not sure on the precise offer, if any, that makes sense

as to deal 1, Rangers can and would offer multiple pieces topping price paid for Hanifin
