WAS wouldn't have the pieces to acquire either McDavid or Draisaitl.

sweet jesus, no god no
Quoting: Salzy
Replace Dowd and a 2nd with McMichael and Miroshnichenko and its still a no. As said ^ WSH doesnt have the pieces needed to pull off a move for a player of Drai's value
And giving up that many high value assets for one player is never a good idea

You are not getting Leon without giving up leanord, lol come to think of it you guys definitely don't have the pieces to acquire a Leon Draisaitl tbh.
Okay here is my breakdown:
Keumper as more value than Skinner but for the sake of this lets call it a wash.
AA, Protas, and Lapierre are young pieces that will eventually find their way into your lineup with 2 of them being former first round selections and Protas becoming a solid bottom sixer.
Kuzy and Dowd are NOT the value of Drai but they are replacements for the center position and then you add a 1st and two 2nds and it ends up being 3 young promising roster players, a solid second line center, an elite 4th line center and 3 high picks for Drai.
The first would not be pretected so if the caps fell apart Edmonton would be in the Lottery.
