Funny because we haven't seen/heard anything of sorts around here...Why creating a Drouin vs Draisatl proposal when it has been reported that Chiarelli has offered Draisatl for a deal where Pacioretty is involved? I think that this is what is the main interest for everybody
has-been 21 yr old playerThat's fine. The Oilers will just keep their has-been player then.
I can find all sorts of garbage on Twitter too, it doesn't make it a "report" because it isn't reputable.That's definitely a highly reputable, respected source for hockey information.
'Reported'
Good luck with this, That's pretty horrendous for the Oilers. Drouin's value is nowhere close to Draisaitl plus the 2nd and McCarron is meh.EDM Trades
Drai
Habs trade

The Oilers have no issues cap wise no matter what people want to think. They could keep RNH next season with the reported 80-82M cap.Neutral fan questions:
1. Is it possible for the Oilers to keep all their high salary players? Talking about 9 players 4-4-1 at 55 mil.starting next year.
That would mean 14 other players would share 20 or so mil depending on cap.
2. If its seen as impossible, who would have to go? RNH? Return would have to be picks only?
I dont believe Leon is leaving.

How about:
Drai
Talbot
Weber @ 50% retained
Price @ 50% retained
That makes about as much sense to the Habs as your proposal for Edmonton

Price for Draisaitl
Lehkonen for Talbot
Yeah you all are deep at C I can see why you wouldn't want a 20 year old stud.
Lol I love the Habs line of argument with any good player. "Wouldn't score 20 points on this Habs team." If talented players can't produce on your squad, you might want to figure that out.He would not even get 60 points or 20 goals as a habs...
This is not happening anyway.

Even Eklund wouldn't post something like thisWhy creating a Drouin vs Draisatl proposal when it has been reported that Chiarelli has offered Draisatl for a deal where Pacioretty is involved? I think that this is what is the main interest for everybody
Oilers with Draisaitl/Talbot > Oilers with Price/Pacioretty or whatever else the Habs feel is "equal"I think Price for Drai is a better package. Lots of Oilers fan disagree and I respect this. Lets talk in 2 years and wee how Price and Drai look then and how the cap situation looks as well.
something around Weber for Draisaitl makes more sense than Price.I just don't see the Oilers trading Drai. Wouldn't that piss off McDavid big time? The only trade I think make sense is Price for Drai but that don't fly with pretty much the entire Oilers fan base.
I'm all for trading Patch for a 2018 1st, and NHL ready prospect (C, or LD). However, I think Bergevin is not interested in trading Patch anyways as if he goes down a rebuild route, he likely looses his job.

Don't want anything to do with Drouin or Galchenyuks sense of entitlement
