Columbus is not taking Kassian. Remember how he caved in Dubinsky's face and ended his career? Not happening as long as Jarmo's in charge.

Also, Buffalo would be delighted at that price. Which is why it's not enough.

Honestly, Draisaitl is a very good player, but he is overrated in my opinion and puts up a lot of points because of McDavid on the powerplay. I don't see him as a game breaker talent like Mcdavid, Mac, Matthews, and Kane

Yes, but if you put him in the 1c role I don't think he'll be able to produce as many points as he does right now, especially without Mcdavid.

Exactly. if this was to cost to get Draisaitl you have to pull this trigger. I don't love losing Tage, but who knows if he can put up 30+ goals again, and if he does then you are looking at a $9+ mil contract for 8 years. A big part of Draisaitl's value is his contract.

Plus there is the fact that drai almost doubled up tages points this year in tages only productive year. The oilers dont accept this I am afraid and it is a good pakcage, just not enough for drai

Dude if you think drai is overrated then kane has the exact same issues lmaooo they are overrated for the same reasons

Patrick kane may be the single most overrated play in hockey he is terrible defensively and no he does not drive the game

Also what is that package lmao drai is a top 5 player dude that package is less then what the bluejackets got for seth jones

How is Kane overrated? If you kane may not be the best defensively but he carried the Blackhawks this year and has won 3 cups. What has mcdavid and Leon won other than individual awards. Also Leon is not too 5 he’s at most 7th.

Mcdavid, Matthew’s, Nathan, makar, Crosby

@Rhehdbdbd Little says no to every trade no matter how one sided it may be.
Keep the third and throw in Barrie and you will have every Sabre saying no, but that would be a great deal for Buffalo, upgrade at center and RHD for only a prospect, RHD, first and second.

In the spirit of CapFriendly ACGM comments, Winnipeg's 2024 4th round pick is untouchable. wink
