    Vancouver says no very quickly, but from the Edmonton perspective, I'm not sure your team is actually better. Better wingers for sure, but your center ice looks weak.

    Yup, I was lazy, it should have been Ottawa, I am sort of excessive compulsive and try to make the trade with teams in alphabetical order. When the Senators are ready to make a play off push Lucic's contract will be nearly completed. You are correct the centers are not top rate, but with better wingers 2nd line centers could look pretty good, I mean Tarasenko as Nugent-Hopkins RW, I could probably get 50 assists with Drouin and Vlad as my wing mates. Lastly Brown getting better minutes would most likely return to his 20 goal season.

    Yup, but with that defense (adding Parayko and Butcher), the goal tenders may not see many shots.

    I understand but then I do not have the first to move Lucic and then I do not have the cap space to sign Nelson. The defense suffers with out Parayko. So if I reverse the McDavid trade I lose a center, a scoring machine RW and #1 defender.

    Edit: when this was posted earlier https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/210645 every one was against the trades, I think you all could see the improvement on defense and wing could make this a playoff team.

    I would consider a trade with Winnipeg centering around RNH and Trouba. Keep McD and Drais and firm up the defence. What do you think?

    Sacrifice Nuge instead of McJesus in Carolina for Pesce or Slavin... add Pulj if need to and you are OK at D.
    Kelfbom- Pesce
    Nurse- Larsson
    On top you will save 3M to sign Nelson or go for Dzingel at wings!

    Thank you for your kind thoughts. Too many people respond with venom as if we were removing their manhood.

    I agree that getting a better defense would help, I am certainly not fond of moving either McDavid or Draisaitl, I was just playing with the idea and how the team would pan out. You are most likely correct small changes are better. Chiarelli had the correct idea, he just targeted the wrong defenseman. I wonder why he did not try for Subban, Karlsson, Hedman, Burns or even Weber.

    OMW, I would kill to get Pesce, just remember Waddell essentially gave away Skinner to keep his defensive corp. But he may trade Faulk for Nugent-Hopkins.

    I do not know who messed up their teams worse, Chiarelli or Murray. A strong case can be made for either one of them.
