Trading Lavoie will handcuff them in the future. By having mcdavid and draisaitl they need to find cheap talent to play with them. Especially when the D core they have all gets signed to team friendly deals and they can't get any more Brobergs because they are picking 27th.
If you could get PLD for that contract and term then I support this. There is no way that they resign him or nudge for big money after that timeframe though. With trying to resign both mcdavid and Draisaitl they don't have money for that. The nice part about nudge is hes in his prime now and you can pay him a bit more on his next contract for shorter term to be up same time as mcdavid.
I would counter with 1 for 1 Puljujarvi for dubois.
