Description
THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS ARMCHAIR GM. PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME IT WON'T HAPPEN. I AM AWARE.

Mostly inspired by a friend asking "what if Edmonton tries to trade Draisaitl for Ullmark" and not taking no for an answer despite what I tried to explain. Here's the answer, then...

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A JOKE POST. NOT SERIOUS.

Additional Details:
THREE WAY TRADE.
CHI -> two first round picks for retaining on Draisaitl + taking Campbell as a reclamation project (hey, he can't lose you games you didn't intend to win!)
BOS -> biggest fish in the sea to help at C, going all in and allowing Swayman to be the starter
EDM -> stable goaltender in Ullmark, help on D in Lohrei

EDM

Additional Details:
PHI moves on from Morgan Frost who doesn't seem to be in the long-term plans and picks up a defenseman who might be good?

As an Edmonton fan what do you think about the recent whispers that Sharks are likely landing spot for Draisaitl in 25? Apparently with our owner being German and our ability to offer max contract could be enticing. I’m not for it as I worry about cap space down the road and a player making 13 mil at 36/37

So your answer to your friend not taking no for an answer is to create and post a bad trade for EDM?

Draisaitl will become the new Ovie, Leon is already slow footed and a lazy back checked.


Acgm fail, why isn't Jack Campbell the starter.

If you don't want to hear "it won't happen", does that mean you also don't want to hear that "it will happen"? Because I think CHI accepts.
