Too much? Trying to figure out a way for Oilers fans to be happy and Rangers Fans to be happy. You would also need to account for cap space since Rangers need to Re-sign Fox and Zibanejad. They also have a number of nice prospects Defensively so I do no think giving up Jones is a deal breaker. Draisaitl is a top 5 player in the league basically. It would take a bounty to get him imo.

If you want Reinhart you’ll have to do better than that. Girgensons is serviceable when healthy whereas Turris is not. Broberg is good, and I like Archibald, but nobody has a place for Neal. Dumping him would cost you the 1st automatically.

We aren't trading Draisaitl. Why would we trade Draisaitl?

It is not that Draisaitl is not a top 5 player it is that your roster has zero depth after that line.
