Oilers definitely decline Detroit

Those are some interesting trades.

I like the Nashville one for both sides.

I don't like the TBL or Det trades for Edm.

The last thing the blues need is another LHD. We also don't have the cap space nor the desire for Nurse at 8 mil per year

We need a LHD to play extreme usage with Parayko. Myra’s is a pretty good defenseman but probably isn’t movable even with that retention.

Blues switch from Parayko to Nurse and they have even less cap space (not possibly ant the moment) and still need one top end defenseman.

Blues says no of course

McDavid is a great player but TB keeps a top pairing defense duo and a top line all situation winger they know they can win with.

Hard pass.

NSH passes. Draisaitl would be great and would do a lot for NSH, especially on a line with Forsberg and Tomasino/Evangalista. That said, even he isn't enough to cover the cost of losing ROR and Saros, plus having to take on the albatross that is the Jack Campbell contract. NSH is already in a weird spot with buyouts due to still paying the Turris buyout and the Duchene one, so the probably don't want to add another.

Interesting idea though, and would definitely explore it further.
