Yeah Seguin wouldn't work out anyways because eventually he will want more than $8 million too and the chances of Dallas moving him rather than resigning him are extremely low.

That's my stance too...If Draisaitl is at ~7 million I might swap them (but then the Oilers wouldn't), but probably not. I think MacKinnon on McDavid's wing would have comfortably hit 70+ too. But if Draisaitl's earning 8+ million and MacKinnon's earning 6 million, that's absolutely not worth it. I imagine other teams with the types of top young players on more palatable contracts that Edmonton would be looking at would feel the same way too.
More than 8 million? Even 7 million a year is high.
He signs a reasonable long term contract under 7 AAV or you send his ass out of town.
The ask also wouldn't be a number 1 center it'd be a top young defenseman.

I agree. Any young #1 center coming back would play on the 2nd line in Edmonton and would demand the exact same price if not more.
That is why the are examples . I am not unto date on all the teams C , Also a team doing the trade would have to believe Draisaitl will be the better player going forward . No team makes the trade unless there is some benefit to them .

I say Duchene or a young, budding center prospect and picks coming, if this were the case.
Rather have Dion then all of them. Big, Strong on the puck Centers are as rare as #1 all around Dmen.
MacKinnon in particular I would not touch. His first four seasons is basically a clone of RNH's first four seasons (Nuges were a bit better in PPG in fact).
RNH gets **** on as a bust all the time but they were only drafted two years apart.
No clue why McKinnon get's such leway.
Tough to demand anything if you are locked up for 5 or 6 years . We would not trade him to run into the same situation in 2 or 3 years

Montreal offers $7.8M X 5 years. We lose a 1st, 2nd, third and keep our assets. Still think he gets sent out of town?
Really not a bad offer . Would hurt to see him in a Nucks uniform . I guess the bashing we received over the years from Canucks fans makes it hard to deal with them . Too bad Tanev is injured so much or this would be a real nice deal for both teams

Do fans thing before posting this garbage ? Edmonton matches and happily keeps him if that is the AAV

That's a very good offer. Really like Horvat's game.
Still rather keep Drai, but kudos for a good offer.

The person he is talking to said that either Draisaitl signs for $7m or he gets sent out.

Point one . You would be 1 of 10,000,000 Oiler fans who would rather Phaneuf . Hand in your fan card and may god have mercy on your soul .
You are 100% right . Even Duchene had a worst season point wise then RNH all while the Nuge played in a shut down role and yet Duchene is value as some great C and Nuge is trash
