You want Tavares its going to cost you Draisaitl. **** off with RNH. id take a vending machine before him.

What if, at the trade deadline next season
Tavares still wont sign and is going to hit free agent market
They would have to consider this trade

with 20 other teams making offers, no they dont. not only that they'd move him before the season. top 10 scorer in the league the last 7 years. there will be plenty of better deals than that garbage

Big problem would be getting Tavares signed to a contract that would still leave room to pay McDavid. You have $1 million cap space. Would need probably $3 million more for Tavares, and prabably 8 or 9 more for McDavid. Also you traded away Puljujarvi, who was suppose to be entry level contract RW that would would provide some cap room, by trading Eberle maybe.

Oh you want me to look at it from an Oilers point of View? ok.

there is no reason to trade for Tavares. They have a star player, they need pieces to pick up the tertiary scoring, not another superstar center
