1) Oilers desperately need a RHC for draws, they don’t have a good one (Ryan) but he’s barely an NHL player any longer.
2) Size, Dach is a huge kid, Oilers have a size and aggression problem, Dach solves this.
3) Potential, Dach has been progressing the correct way, I see him as a full time number 2C or a RW the greatest attribute a centre has is the ability to play wing.
4) He PK’s in fact he’s on Chicago number 1 unit.
5) He’s from Edmonton, he’s more apt to hang around ( people underestimate the importance of this)

Add on - Dach has offensive potential, Oilers could centre him between Hyman &amp; RNH and that line would be terrible to play against. - Need a goal, throw him on with Draisaitl &amp; Kane and that’s a lot of angry beef beef coming at you.
I’m a big fan of Dach, at the very least you get a different perspective &amp; you see why Debrincat isn’t the guy, Dach fills more rolls the Oilers need.

Those are just off the top of my head, I’m sure I could come up with more.</div></div>

I think the biggest issues with Dach right now are his FO%, and his finish. He has plenty of two way talent but can't seem to take that next step offensively. But, as realKyleDavidson said, it's too early to put a value on him. At this point I only see him being traded as a piece that is valued on potential for a team that is buying. And unless the right opportunity presents itself, I doubt CHI will be buying any time soon. So he probably just sticks around in CHI and develops some more.

Those are all very good points. I will listen on Dach, but he's hard to put a value on right now given that his value is backed by potential more than results at the moment.

Thread: Ya I did it And I would do it again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bobcaygeon97</b></div><div>This was just a trial run, all your points are absolutely correct, I don’t think McDavid is going to be an Oiler much longer, just getting sense of what a trade may look like, I definitely could have added quality to the trade - Skinner (NHL ready) better prospects &amp; NHL players like Yamamoto instead of Kassian.
What do the picks look like?
What king of youth the oilers could expect?
What king of centre depth is out there
I just really liked the Flyers depth of young players.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to bounce ideas off ya!</div></div>
Absolutely and I think as a Flyers fan we would love to bring in McDavid to help bring the Flyers back to past glory. Maybe McDavid + Skinner + Kassian for Hart * Coots + Provorov + Konecny/Farabee + 2 firsts(2023+2024). Value might be a little low on Phillys side but something like that as a base
