burakovsky-McDavid-Draisaitl 1st line

Nah.

That would leave Nuge with no one great to play with. The past few games Drai has been lazy alongside McD. Pulju had better numbers with McDavid than Drai has with McDavid. This would spread out scoring across the top six well. It would also keep the 4th line a threat with Chiasson, who has 15 goals on the season.

That's a good lineup.

I don't like the trade much for Washington, but I like what you've done with the Oilers, so if you're willing to add something Arizona or some other team wants, maybe there's a three way trade that can upgrade the Caps' PK? I think the Caps are loaded with scoring, but the only two PK guys I like off EDM are Klef and Khaira, and you've got both in top minutes, so I'm guessing they're non-starters.

Hmm.

Rieder is a great pker, maybe him straight for Burakovsky?

Rieder has 7 points on the year, whereas Burakovsky has 8. (Both were injured for a bit).
