Draisaitl to MTL would be wild. I still think he resigns

That is a decent offer. I think EDM would want Guhle instead of Reinbacher as Kaiden is more ready and from the area.

Don’t think a late 2nd gets Buffalo to make that swap
Don’t see us being interested in Ceci at all

by taking Guhle then Broberg would have to play on his off side

Buffalo plays Ceci 1 year and trades Clifton

Montreal says no

I don't see Draisaitl being a franchise player for a full 7-8 more seasons, so yes trading him would be the best thing to do.

Leon looks more and more like Ovie; slow footed, lackluster back checking and just a stationary goal scorer. Leon will age poorly and it would be a mistake to commit $13+ million for him.

Guhle can play on the right. This trade would destroy the 'vibes' in the MTL room but you have to do it I think for the upside, alone. MTL fans dont want to keep rebuilding either. Its a perfect storm. Hughes is crazy enough 2

Doubtful
Clifton is locked in for our RD3 this season

If we trade Jokiharju, it’ll likely be for someone significantly better than Ceci
He just doesn’t seem like a guy we’d like
U gotta remember, we saw him be absolutely horrible in Ottawa for years
And even though he was pretty good last year for u guys,
he took a step back this season

I just don’t see us thinking he should be the partner for Power on the 2nd pair

Of course!!!

Buffalo fans arguing about bottom pair defenders, while we discuss a colossal deal, on brand. I love this place!

If Draisaitl were 24 or 25 maybe they'd consider it.
But montreal ain't stupid. And everyone can see what you just said. He's not going to be as effective due to his age soon.
I wouldn't trade Suzuki for him 1 for 1. Sorry. It doesn't fit Montreals timeline. We'd be back in the playoffs when he's 30 years old.

You're welcome to keep the cancerous Kane in Edmonton
