Description

After reading numerous bad Draisaitl trades here I want to outline what we need and where he’s likely to sign.

The NY teams seem most likely to be a good fit where he’d sign long term. Boston would also be a good long term destination but I doubt they’d do that deal. Buffalo has a lot to offer but I doubt he’d extend there. The FL teams would have the hardest time making it work but I think he’d extend there too.

Additional Details:

They’d need to move out Chytil but this is probably the best fit for us, Leon, and for the other team.

An even better return for us than the Rangers trade but probably less likely.

Not worth it for the NYR to kill what they currently have IMO

I think the isles deal is too much for him. Panthers likely won’t give up ekblad with their d issues.

Others are within range I’d say

It's a no from NYR. That move ruins our upcoming youth window

Oilers only consider the Florida and Tampa trade every other trade is trash for Edmonton

Also I don't really understand how the Ranger trade fits Edmonton's needs (depth scoring, defense, and goaltending). We're attempting to make KK into a #1RW, to be determined if that will succeed or not. Cuylle is also looking top 6 caliber lately. I don't think Schneider helps you much at all. He will be a stud one day but seems to have regressed this year and is currently behind Fox and Trouba on the depth chart. I feel like you need a RD who is That Guy (Now). Dobson is a great example
