Oilers aren’t trading draisaitl lmao and that deal is near enough

bruins and sharks say no

Why not?
In a perfect situation, where your GM didn’t screw the pooch on a couple of bad deals I would never trade him, but your situation right now isn’t a good one and I don’t see any way to turn the season around without something drastic and he is your best option to move and improve this roster.

I’m a sharks fan and I think we would say yes!
And while a lot to give up, I think Boston would have a hard time saying no to getting one of the best C in hockey and not having to move any prospects and only 1 1st.
I think all 3 benefit from these 2 deals.

draisaitl isnt one of the best centers and for oilers to dump Campbell while gaining assets is gonna cost way more

Draisairl is quite easily the 2nd best player in the world what r u talking about?

It’s closer than most of the bad trade ideas that Edmonton fans have made.

The reality is the Bruins, like any team, would give a kings ransom for Leon. That said, they aren’t going to trade one of the best goalies in the league for a protected first rounder and fringe. You don’t secure a “get out of jail free card”

How you fix your defense and goaltending is going to be interesting. Hope you do it before it costs you the two stars

You have no b

I get fans not wanting to lose one of their stars! But hear me out…. In a few years both Draisaitl and McDavid combined are going to run about 27-28 mil a season combined, leaving roughly 64 mil in cap space (assuming 92 mil cap) for the rest of the team remove 9.25 for Nurse 6 for Elkholm, 5.5 for Hyman and your left with about 44 mil for 18 remaining spots including Bouchard both goalies and 2 top 4 D and 3 top 6 wings. How are you going to manage keeping that roster competitive? This helps you solve that problem doesn’t it?

Skinner will be fine and I don’t understand why people think trading draisaitl is such a great idea when it’s really just flat out dumb and would ruin oilers chances of resigning McDavid

Only deal the oilers will do for draisaitl to boston starts with pastranak and some

Skinner has been worse than Campbell, so it’s an optimistic take. He looks like a fragile liability at this point shell shocked and playing at a level that is unacceptable.

I personally think you’d be better off making an offer for Gustavsson, but Skinner has been far from fine.

I think trading Draisaitl is assanine stupidity, but I also think status quo will likely make the situation untenable llong term barring some unexpected emergence

Oiler fans are a little delusional about the return they will get for Draisaitl.

He's worth a lot yes - but the value they from a a top-4 D in his prime with term, a Vezina goalie, a top-6 winger (Debrusk), an A-level prospect on his ELC (Lysell), and a future first immediately makes more of an impact and improves the team than just Leon.

As an Oilers fan, I think the trade is decently fair. 2nd best player in the world for a starting, Vezina caliber goalie, 2nd line player and 2nd pair dman.
That being said though, a trade I'd more so be interested in is something involving McAvoy.

As a Bruins fan, I'd be very much no to what was proposed, let alone anything that touches McAvoy or Swayman..... Why would the Bruins blow up a 1st place team for a decent player only signed for one more year? Ullmark for a first and RNH maybe. Draisaitl is good, but a long way from 2nd best player.

Skinner hasn’t been worse than campbell at all though idk were u getting that from
