I am tossing this out there to see if this could be a reset for both franchises.
Edmonton - obviously loses the best player in the trade. Draisaitl is one of the top players in the NHL and I would not want to lose him. Unfortunately, to make big improvements, you have to give something up. This would give the Oilers that top end goalie that they have been missing. Helly has been under fire after his performance against the Avs. I thought he kept them in that series. He gave up a couple of weak ones, but he made some big saves too. He just did not see 70% of the goals or they were tipped in.
I added Skinner going back as to balance out both rosters with a goalie going both ways. It was either Skinner or Campbell and that alone would have tossed this out.
The rest of the trade was to balance out both rosters. With Edmonton losing the best center in the trade, I wanted to send another center back. Lowry is a heart and soul type of player that the Jets would have a hard time parting with. However, I think they would consider it with getting Leon back.
Including Morrisey and Nurse.....well, this will be the part of the trade that will cause the most controversy. Nurse is signed to a long term deal and big money. He is a decent NHL defenseman, but not worth the money he is paid. Morrisey, on the other hand, is a stud. Smaller than most defensemen, but his lack of size is made up for with his skill. He is reliable on both ends of the ice.
Both teams would have a tough time giving up their stars. But, to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs.
