That would awful asset management for Montreal...
Draisaitl still needs to prove he can score at a high level without Hall.

Got to give to get. How do you think the Habs will solve their problems up the middle? Magic? McCarron is not the answer BTW
Lehkonen and Draisaitl can play LW.

Draisaitl is the real deal. #3 over all pick and a center with size that can skate and score goals. Draisaitl will not prove himself playing 3rd line center with the Oilers. He's only 21. I think it's a fair deal for both sides. Both address a need.

They certainly won't solve anything by trading Pacioretty. If Lejkonen and Draisaitl both play on the wing, how have you solved the middle?

Well this year, it's stays Chucky as 1C, Pleky as 2C, and Danault as 3C. If you can move Pleky, then Draisaitl to 2nd line Center. But if not, Draisaitl plays center next year or the year after when Pleky is gone.
Maroon has played better than Lucic and there's also Pouliot.
Oilers have no need for a LW. RW is where it is weaker. RHD is the weakest position.

Maroon and Pouliot eh? RW is not weaker IMO. Eberle and Puljujarvi are very solid!
Imagine a top 6 of...
Patch / McDavid / Eberle
Lucic / RNH / Puljujarvi
You obviously don't watch the Oilers. Ebs is meh and Puljujarvi doesn't seem to have the pro-fitness nor pro-strength yet.
Maroon is the best top-6 forward after McDavid and Nuge. LW is much stronger than RW (Ebs + Puljujarvi). While Pouliot may not score, he's solid defensively with Nuge.
I don't know what to say about Lucic.
You are trading the present for the future. Late first is probably not very appealing to a team like EDM, who has plenty of young players.

The last thing the Oilers need is another LW.
Could EDM use a RW?yup,
a legit #3C? yup
help on D? Yup
Good backup goalie? Yup
another LWer while they have Lucic playing on the 3rd line and Caggiula\Slepy coming down the pipeline? probably not.
By 1st round pick...do you mean the one younused to pick Sergachev? Because Patches and Sergachev might get it done.

Adding Patch at the cost of Draisaitl is very good trade for the Oilers (with the addition of a mid to late 1st round pick) Your really going to defend Pouliot and Maroon over adding Pacioretty in your top 6? lol. With your logic, the Habs would never trade Byron for Draisaitl because Byron is playing so good right now. lol
Lucic is a solid addition but for too much money!

you on drugs? By 1st round pick, I mean the one the Habs will get this year (probably).... Mid to late 1st round pick

That's what I starting to realize... They will target another top 4D man with a Nuge or Drai trade. Make sense
Words whiz by you it seems. Oilers don't need LW help. Oilers don't need LW help. Oilers don't need LW help.
Who cares if Patches is better? Does Montreal need another starting goalie?
We don't need any more LWers, we would use RNH or Dr.Drai for a puckmoving RHD. But Patches is definitely a player I would love to have.
