Thread: A shakeup
I'll gladly answer with another name no one has mentioned: Dylan Garand.

As said here, as long as Benoit Allaire is in the employ of the Rangers, I'll never worry about goaltending. Garand is the quietest 3-1-1 in the organization, who is 21 years old. He has something each of the seven current goalies in the organization (save one, Jon Quick) doesn't have: championship experience. Garand also has an entry-level contract with term left beyond this season; meaning, you get Quickie's and Louie's replacement for very nearly the same amount (something you have as leverage in a trade, not needing a first for giving up Igor, an elite goalie).

On the flip side, why Draisitil? Because <strong>YOU ARE</strong> giving up an elite goalie and (when healthy) a top 10 player in the world, for another.

Why else? Artemi Panarin, who is playing like the franchise left winger he's paid to be, along with Alexis Lafreniere, who is finally coming into his own. This deal grabs a true number one center to pivot between them, who is one of the purest goal scorers in the league and in its history.

Drury and Holland are giving neither chump change; each gives each other both the short-term and long-term fixes, at the exact same ages (27), that permits each team to balance both of the cap and the players needed to go forward.

Edmonton needs a stabilizing force in net, that breaks down the noticable lapses and puts the team in better shape to win. New York needs a high-caliber center that finishes scoring chances, as well as letting Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider transition to the latter levels of their careers.

The whole center position deepens for the Rangers over the next few seasons, while the Oilers settle the goaltending for the present and foreseeable future.

Win-win.
