Pretty sure everyone says no to these trades.
Excluding the Sens last year - when they went for quantity over quality - in order to get quality, you have to give quality. The only time a trade becomes a real upset is when one side misreads the quality of the players involved (Domi, Galchenyuk).
For example, the Ducks can do better for Cam Fowler than a guy who can't crack an NHL roster (Peca) a nice but untested rookie (Brook) and a very low value pick (5th). For a guy like Cam Fowler, they could expect a very good prospect and much higher picks - I think it's going to be a seller's market for RHD once Karlsson signs.
And Drai is going to go for a lot more than a guy who can't crack a roster, a guy who can't score, a guy who's played one game, a guy coming off a major injury with a question mark still by his name and a 1st round pick. Expect multiple picks, a good roster player and some primo prospects, if the Oil are crazy enough to move him.
