PLD would be moved down a line in this caseThink he’d be okay playing behind PLD?

Would Oilers risk losing him for nil?This isn't a knock on the Oilers and just something I wonder about "logistically" when a player who potentially is this expensive comes up at this point.
Especially as I'm in general really bad at reading and understanding potential trades.
Undoubtedly every team would love to have a guy like him, but which team would within this timeline actually be well suited, without throwing other parts of the team into chaos, say by sacrificing their top defensive line? And also have the money, or ability to move players to get that money?
What is max anyways?
18.4M next year 25/26What is max anyways?
umm, yeah, pass. I can get a #1C and #1D for that cash. Someone else can have him for that.18.4M next year 25/26
It’s way too much money for sure, but it seems pretty unlikely that you’d be able to sign a 1D and 1C for $18M combined in the current cap climate.umm, yeah, pass. I can get a #1C and #1D for that cash. Someone else can have him for that.
I think they would move Thompson, keep Cozens.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.
Most top D are in 9.0-10.5 range right now. You can get a 1C for 10m. Maybe it's like 2 extra million on the cap but that's nothing.It’s way too much money for sure, but it seems pretty unlikely that you’d be able to sign a 1D and 1C for $18M combined in the current cap climate.
Montreal will have the cap space to do it, but it would be fair to debate whether they should.This isn't a knock on the Oilers and just something I wonder about "logistically" when a player who potentially is this expensive comes up at this point.

Let one massively overpaid forward walk then use that space to add another massively overpaid forward..We would (hopefully) let Marner walk and offer Draisaitl an absolute bag
Vegas doesn't have the space and even if it did, Leon wouldn't fit in to Cassidy's defense-first scheme with relatively few PPs particularly well.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?
Draisaitl had 10 playoff goals this year alone. Mitch has 11 in his career. Let's not pretend like they're the same.Let one massively overpaid forward walk then use that space to add another massively overpaid forward..
