You're going to end up being over the cap with bonuses

Draisaitl for a bunch of spare parts and late round picks, no thanks! That would be one of the worst trades in the history of the Oilers, I will keep Lucic and be happy about it.

Cool. But yeah. That's still too much to give to take on that Lucic contract even with Drai included.

Can understand the frustration Oilers fans are feeling having the best player in the world- yet continually missing playoffs...but to rid themselves of some real bad contracts, something will have to give...Drais may be a high ask- but that return is far from lower draft picks and spare parts...and doubt the Rangers would go for this to get a real good player in return- but whose numbers would probably drop considerably away from McDavid.
