Gross overpayment going to St. Louis take out the first and maybe maybe add a 3rd and oilers accept

We're going to want a roster player for Drouin.

Nah. Paying for the depth they need

Edm literally gets worse imo.

Nothing in that offer that justifies a first lol oilers never do that

i dont know that oilers are paying for drouin... maybe they would take him on waivers but not sending assets for him

Overpay for Drouin

They wouldn't do that. But I think you're undervaluing the impact productive bottom 6ers have and what a solid bottom pairing can do. Those guys check alot of boxes for the Oilers, but yeah with where they're at that would be a nightmare for the fanbase to swallow if it doesn't turn the season around.

They need to get actual NHL players in that bottom 6 though and fix their defense/goaltending. Some forwards can help mask their defensive flaws.

Avs decline. Drouin has been ok so far. Nothing special but ok, and just seems to be finding his feet.

No way from blues.

Facts but i doubt Stl accpets if its a 3rd
Foegle is a cap dump in this trade and broberg himself doesnt pay for all that
