The problem is your idea that I am "underrating" Draisaitl is the same as your idea that I am "overrating" Atiknson, Dubois and (somewhat) Jones. And yet you guys continue to claim its OTHERS underrating the EDM players.
And no it hasn't been Draisaitl "+" in here. Its been Jones "+", or straight up, which again, doesn't help EITHER team. BUT you are disrespected by this thought process as you believe Draisaitl is worth more than Jones and that the CBJ would be dumb to turn that down.
Also to reiterate, Puljujarvi is terrible. Him as a "+" does literally NOTHING for the CBJ.
2 Oiler posters said Jones+ for Draisaitl.
Change Drai to RNH and EDM fans might bite.
Draisaitl will cost Seth Jones+ and neither team is in a position to do that swap.
You want Drai? Start with Jones.
More Oiler posters opposed there being a + on the Jackets side.
Many Oiler posters would say from a talent perspective in their respective positions they are equal. C and D are equally important positions. Jones' contract is clearly more favorable so I would say the Oilers would have to add a decent piece from a total value perspective... something like a 2019 1st (lottery protected).
Saying Puljujarvi sucks is just being ignorant... Atkinson, someone you think very highly of, didn't even play an NHL game until he was 22... Puljujarvi is 19 playing in a country where he just learned the language and on a team that, to say it kindly, had "some challenges" this year.
I do think Dubois is going to be a very good player from what I've seen... I've only watched about 10 games or so.
As far as the OP goes... if you take Puljujarvi out, add a Slepyshev or maybe Khaira... it's fair. Wennberg is a middle of the pack 2C. Atkinson is a 1RW. He is not as young as some might think (29 going into next season), with a new 7 year contract.
It is my preference that if we are trading a talent like Draisaitl, it's with a + for a bonafide #1D. Puck moving a must, RHD preferred.
