The only "realistic" Draisaitl trade, but still won't pass

Actually, the trade is pretty fair, IF, the Oilers wanted long term cap relief and wanted to go in a new direction without Leon.

YES! This is great! Ik people dont think the Oilers should use their stars to trade bad contracts, but the only pne u need to do it with is Lucic, and LOOK AT UR PACKAGE IN RETURN!

Awesome trade, dude?

Now make one as Edmonton, make this trade, then make an RNH trade to get a D-man, and deal Sekera for future considerations, and u’ve shown us how to fix Edmonton.

We can't give both of Galchenyuk and Gallagher. Draisaitl puts 80pts a year playing with the best player in the league. Galchenyuk has put 55pts with a bad team this year and Gallagher 30 goal. Furthermore, the fact that we will get stack with this horrible contract for 5 years will cause a lot of trouble. At the end of the day, even if this trade is kinda original, MTL loses too much for the return.

MTL sees no point... loosing too much... and getting a horrible contract at the same time...

I rather spend the 8+6 =14M on Tavares instead of Draisalt and Lucic... without losing too much of our core.
