Thread: Top D for a Top C
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilcountryGM</b></div><div>Yes i know that, I didnt say Edmonton's top center. I just stated a top center because Drai would be a top center on 20 out of 31 teams in the NHL</div></div>

I know Drai is good and is totally a number one on a lot of teams.... I don’t know why you’d want to trade him.... in a few year you could have one of the best one two punches in the NHL, just like Pittsburgh has not with Crosby and Malkin......

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cstooch</b></div><div>Not my roster, but Draisaitl isn't the top centre in Edmonton because they have the best player in the league (arguably) as their top centre. Drai could be a top C on a lot of teams. Also, I'm a homer here, but I think his contract will look considerably better in the future. He's only 22. I had hoped for around $7.5M, so it's a little more than what I expected, but he could really bloom on another team where he is the ... *CSI shades* centre of attention.

That said, not saying the suggested trade works, necessarily, just saying Draisaitl is quite a good C, and definitely capable of being a top line C of the future.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>I don’t see CBJ needing a C. Dubois and wennberg are just fine down the middle, what they need is a scoring LWer. No way do they trade Jones, it would basically just be reversing the RyJo-Jones deal.</div></div>

Agreed and I don’t think that’s in the best interest for Columbus.
