We aren't getting Drai for an offer sheet. Also, Shattenkirk is not worth that money at all. People hate Ghost because he isn't a shutdown defender I could only imagine what they would complain about if we signed Shatty especially at that price. Why would you put Faulk on the bottom pair. In this case it should be Prov/Faulk, Ghost/Gudas, and Hagg/Shatty. Not worth it... Plus I odn't see MTL doing that deal, or ARZ, or CHI...

A team rebuilding does not give away the assets you have here to get a player like Draisaitl. While he is a very good player, to give up 2 1sts and 2 2nds, plus the massive cap hit, may be a mistake. Look at what the Leafs did with Kessel. They never expected to be that bad, but stuff happens. All it would take is an injury or two and the flyers are bottom dwellers and EDM gets a top pick...

You typically don't give up draft picks/future assets in a rebuild unless you're Paul Holmgren.
