Not. Even. Close. Draisaitl.

I'd do it later in the year. That 1rst round pick may be valuable if the oilers keep playing the way they are.

Your undervaluing what Edmonton is receiving. OEL is alone worth a good player like RNH and Dylan Strome is worth at least a 1st and someone like Klefbom

If I were the oilers I would take that in a second

You really don't have any idea how valuable Klefbom is. No way is Strome equivalent value and you think Edmonton needs to add a 1st?? Ridiculous.

I see this trade as pretty reasonable, actually. There's really no way to argue that Strome is worth more than Puljujarvi (the opposite might be true), so it really becomes Nurse + 1st for OEL which isn't bad value at all - especially since that pick could easily be in the 15-20 range. Keep in mind that Nurse is still on his ELC and will be under control for many years to come, whereas OEL is a UFA after 2 seasons.

Personally I'd rather keep Nurse, but if traded should be for a position of need, not another LD - Nurse + pick for Trouba, for instance.

I so wish this happended
