so the isles give up good first rounders for patches who has just one year till free agency but the oilers give up about 12 years of control for a modest package from montreal

Drai and nurse for this package would not happen nurse is a top 4 maybe even too 2 d man an drai is a first line centre on most teams not enough

Man, u MTL fans really want to win soon! Well, I guess if u feel having Drai is worth giving up a potential Zadina, Svech, or Tkachuk plus Gallagher, Byron, and a prospect goaltender, then ok. Im’ not saying it’s bad value for Drai, I’m just saying it’s definitely a win now move. I like how u got those 2 1sts for Patches and the contracts u traded away.

A modest package? the **** you are talking about. this draft has a generational talent and multiple potential franchise players, on top of that you get the two ideal linemates for Mcdavid and a potential future starter goalie

And we're talking about Chia here

what are you talking about. sounds like montreal homerism. highly unlikely that pick will be as good as leon. nurse is a developed into a top four dman, gallagher is nice for three years and byron for one. minor league goalies don't get much in an nhl trade. isles are still going finish out of the playoffs even with patches, that's a poor trade for them,
leave chia outta of the rebuttal. it's your post.

Maybe RNH&Kleff, but NOT Drais&Nurse!!

Edmonton already has terrible to average D and you think they'll move Nurse without replacing him? This would set Edmonton way to far back. Our #1D and Draisaitl for one year of Byron and Gallagher. The pick is a maybe...if it's a D-man 3+ years of development and if it's a forward 2+ years of development. It doesn't make sense for Edmonton. Great deal for that Hab!
