The Flyers are going to try. They shouldn’t, but they will.

Using the money from expiring UFAs Kane, Maatta, Petry, Husso, and by dumping / buying out two or three of Copp Holl Chiarot, there should be money on Detroit for Draisaitl next summer, if they're willing to go with Cossa and somebody cheap-ish for goaltending. It would probably push Compher to the wing, and one of Kasper Danielson would probably end up on the wing eventually or traded eventually, but that's all stuff that's worth dealing with if you can add Draisaitl for only cap space and without trading anything away to get him.

Toronto if Marner walks.
They have 22 million coming off the cap next year

Maybe Toronto should start focusing on reliable 2-way players this time?

The betting odds I saw in June were Boston, Chicago, Carolina and Detroit in that order.
A team has to obviously have cap space and he has to want to play there. (Which always gets overlooked)
Boston, Chicago, Toronto and I guess Detroit would be fits.
I’ll be surprised if he signs with a Minnesota, Columbus Or Anaheim type of team. Wouldn’t he just stay In Edmonton?
Overwhelming odds are he stays an Oiler IMO.

I think Toronto would be interested to have him as their second line center

Yea, right. Draisaitl actually performs in the playoffs unlike Nostrils.

I would say the Canes. They've got a TON of cap after this season with Anderson, Burns, Orlov, Kuzy, Fast, Roslovic all coming off. As of right now before they sign Jarvis (Possibly Necas) They sit with 38+ mil in space after this year.
Sabres can't afford 12/7/7 down the middle. I guess Cozens can move to wing but got to move out salary. Unless he wants to sign a 2 year deal? We can do that. Sabres can definitely swing a trade if he is resigning long term. Plenty of assets and can move a roster player. This is where I assume the Power+ trade proposals pop out if you're looking for D. Definitely cant Have Dahlin.

The Flyers are 100% showing up at his door with a max contract.
You mean like Marner, one of the most reliable two way players in the NHL?

Damn near every team in the league would make it work if Drai was interested. A shorter list would be what teams wouldn't be? Florida?

Buffalo would move Cozens, as in trade, to max contract Draisaitl most likely. As others have pointed out, many teams would be willing, it's Draisaitl's choice as to where he'd go, and he'll most definitely be a max contract doing so imho.

Yea, where did Matthews finish in goal scoring in the playoffs with his 1 goal? 300th would you say?
Lots of teams would find a way, but I can’t see how he makes it to ufa

Think he’d be okay playing behind PLD?
