Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

How much more would it take to get Draisaitl. Trying to see just how much it would take.

I know it will never happen. Mcdavid wants Draisaitl there, he's a stud,0% chance he gets move.. With 1 year left and Mcdavid with 2, both are likely going to be making 13M+ on their next deals, Mcdavid likely 15M+, Nurse locked in, Bouchard on a bridge, just curious what people would assess his value. but also the Sabres' pieces here, because Adams needs to wheel and deal.

(1) yes, he has a 10 team NTC that he submits, and Buffalo is 99.9% likely to be on there, but for the sake of argument, say he waives or magically he decided that they're not on it

(2) Assume an 8 year 13.5M extension would accompany this

(3) Would EDM entertain these as core pieces to a trade, and what else would need to be added?

He's a year from free agency lmao

If he were to walk without an extension this franchise would quite literally never recover

If EDM trades Leon it’s too get cheaper to build a better more balanced roster. They wouldn’t be able to afford power and Cozens.

Our scorers are already on the team and in the organization. They're going to get a 2 way C, preferably Left draw, who's better at FO than Krebs. Maybe another botton 6 F who's a little tougher to play against.
