If we're going to acquire Draisaitl and Plekanec, we might as well trade Barzal for defensive help. I'm sick of seeing us ruin natural centers by forcing them to play wing (see Strome, Nelson).
When all's said and done, I think Draisaitl resigns with Edmonton. Put Plekanec at C2, let Barzal learn the NHL game from C3. But if Edmonton lets Draisaitl hit restricted free agency, extending an offer sheet, even one that expensive, makes a lot of sense. I'd just hate to see a great prospect in Barzal forced to the wings and go the route of Strome.
