Ya I think Edmonton would rather keep a good young center over a playoff choker

Lmao no

it would cost you werenski plus panain + to get the convo started for drai

& Kekalainen loses his job the following day.

Lol you’re high. Not saying this trade is anything near worth his value, but Panarin and Werenski AND more? Get a grasp on reality bud

Panarin doesn’t want Edmonton. Werenski is untouchable. Murray on Left D or Savard on right D would probably be offered, they are very solid 2nd pair to go with a franchise goaltender. Bob would definitely get Edmonton into playoffs, with the upgraded defensive addition.
Bob is definitely in his prime, has probably another 4-5 solid years left, and is fairly durable. He is very good team player and his work ethic is off the charts.

Two things would happen with this trade. The first is CBJ would finish bottom of the Metro. The second would be Edmonton would be out the playoffs in the 1st round every year.
