Not sure if the money works for Columbus, (Edm. might need to hold some back) but this is a realistic hockey trade! Solid for both teams!

Ummmm your top center isn’t Drisital..... it’s McDavid..... also Jones will be staying in Columbus, he’s still young and going to be one of the best in the league.... I don’t think we trade him for anyone but the deal is fair, I just wouldn’t do it. Also Drisital is overpaid and if this were to happen you’d have to retain on him.

I don’t see CBJ needing a C. Dubois and wennberg are just fine down the middle, what they need is a scoring LWer. No way do they trade Jones, it would basically just be reversing the RyJo-Jones deal.

Not my roster, but Draisaitl isn't the top centre in Edmonton because they have the best player in the league (arguably) as their top centre. Drai could be a top C on a lot of teams. Also, I'm a homer here, but I think his contract will look considerably better in the future. He's only 22. I had hoped for around $7.5M, so it's a little more than what I expected, but he could really bloom on another team where he is the ... *CSI shades* centre of attention.

That said, not saying the suggested trade works, necessarily, just saying Draisaitl is quite a good C, and definitely capable of being a top line C of the future.

Yes i know that, I didnt say Edmonton's top center. I just stated a top center because Drai would be a top center on 20 out of 31 teams in the NHL

I know Drai is good and is totally a number one on a lot of teams.... I don’t know why you’d want to trade him.... in a few year you could have one of the best one two punches in the NHL, just like Pittsburgh has not with Crosby and Malkin......

Agreed and I don’t think that’s in the best interest for Columbus.

Yeah that could very well be the case. But need to balance the team out, having 2 number 1 centers and some top 4Ds or a 1C a good 2C and a top 2 D, the latter sounds more appealing.

Oilers really need a high end D man. There are a small handful of those guys I'd trade Draisaitl(+) for, but I doubt any teams with those players would do a deal. Really, great Cs and Ds tend to be held on to, cause they're hard to come by.

Oilers missed out on the original Seth Jones trade, and now it makes a lot less sense for him to be moved again. I personally like the Oilers' one-two punch though. I think Drai just needs some better wings. They probably are going to have to luck out in the draft for a good top 2 D.
