I love Sanderson and I do think he's an elite defenseman but even as a sens fan there is no way edmonton would do this lol

Ok 2 questions:

1) with DeBrincat signed for 7.75 vs Draisaitl's 8.5, isn't that like trading 4 quarters for 50 cents?
2) Sanderson & the 1st are valuable, don't get me wrong, but the Oilers are going to have a hard enough time signing and retaining Bouchard, how does having more star players to sign help them when you only created 3.5M in cap relief?

If you wanted to make a deal for Draisaitl, I think you need to start with including Nurse in the deal. Nurse is the problem, not Draisaitl.

Why? Leon Fraudsaitl can't score in the playoffs. Getting a couple younger assets and shoring up the D makes the team a lot more rounded to win when it matters most

1) DeBrincat, as a protégé of Kane and Toews, knows what it takes to win. A lower cap hit (plus more term) matters when cups are all that matters. DeBrincat also had a legendary season with Connor in 2014/15 so they reunite.
2) Only fraudulent teams care about the cap next season. Go all in. All the matters is the next chance to win the cup. Worry about paying for it later
