Buffalo would decline as we’d be gutting our team for an overpaid Dman and a great center. Draisital is worth a lot but his value doesn’t outweigh the losses of Cozens, Power, a Top 15 1st, and Okposo along with Nurse’s horrid contract

Mcdavid's worth more

ok keep Cozens

Nurse is the main problem. He’d get Dahlin 10 mil and suddenly we have 20 mil in Dmen with 1 of them being overpaid by 5 mil

that's when u trade one of them

yes he is over paid but not by 5 million....maybe 2

He is, but I still doubt Arizona does that trade even as is. They don’t have the depth to support him and he’d just walk in free agency in a few years anyways

u trade before he becomes a free agent. Arizona needs him to get butts in the seats, only he can save this franchise or they will get relocated in 2 years

Nah moving the team to Tempe and building a young core will do that. There’s more than enough can support on this side of town, and the pens weren’t saved by trading for a star, they were saved by drafting geno and Crosby. Same concept here

do u kown of a guy called Wayne Gretzky? when he was traded to L.A. then came Anaheim... San Jose... Florida... Tampa ... so what u need is a superstar

I don't think you trade McDavid he's the both the best player and the biggest draw in the NHL - you are a top heavy team though which doesn't seem to work so well for the play-offs - all problems could be solved if you could find great goaltending at a cheap price.

Are you proposing: Power, Okposo, 2022 1st round pick (BUF) and 2023 2nd round pick (BUF) for Nurse, and Draisaitl?
TBH Okposo probably will not be traded.
He played nine years on Long Island but moved his family from St. Paul to Buffalo after he was traded to the Sabres.

I’ll take my chances with the Pittsburgh method. They actually won something unlike LA
