Draisaitl Trade That Makes Sense

Team: 2023-24 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Nov. 11, 2023

Published: Nov. 11, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Let's set the understanding that if McDavid or Draisaitl get moved, the Oilers are not going to get comparable player in return, but that doesn't mean they can't benefit by the return addressing multiple issues.

What issues get address here:
Goaltending
Adding a defensive forward in Sturm
Adding a middle six winger in Barabanov

So yes, you are not replacing Drai's points, but you're not going to in any trade, but you get a capable 2C, depth scoring, better defense at forward and of course GOALTENDING.
