Boston doesn't have the pieces to acquire draisaitl unless they're giving up McAvoy or pasta

Did... did you just give Matt Grzelcyk 5.5 million dollars? In this economy? No. I like Gryz and defend him more than most but for 5.5 million, we could have far better. Heinen gets closer to 1.5mil, no way that gets Drai unless he threatens to walk at the TDL and EDM is out of it.

If Draisaitl is available, my guess is former number 1 picks (plural) will be offered for him.

Well I do think Drai and Boston are a good fit and most people are over-exaggerating how much it would take to acquire him... this isn't it.

It 1 million percent, without a doubt starts with Swayman, no questions asked it starts with Swayman. If Swaymans not involved then there's no deal, I understand Pasta and Mcavoy are untouchable but we would need Swayman coming back for this to happen. Carlo would also have to be added 100%, after that I would probably like the addition of Trent Frederic for the bottom 6 along with Loheri for future within the D-Core once Ekholm retires. Add a 1st + a 2nd to that package and Edmonton 100% takes that deal
