Obviously a really crazy idea, but I actually think it suits every team's needs well. The Oilers address their two biggest needs: A right-shot PP quarterback and a top 6 winger. A top 6 and top 4 of:
RNH - McDavid - Rattie
Silfverberg - Draisaitl - Puljujarvi
Klefbom - Larsson
Nurse - Faulk
... looks pretty damn good, and a huge improvement over last year.
The Hurricanes also solve two issues, especially their need for a starting goaltender. They have also been rumoured to be looking for toughness, and Lucic provides exactly that.
The Ducks get great value for a winger with one year until free agency. With the 10th Overall pick they can add another high-end center prospect to go with Sam Steel. Centers in that range are Barret Hayton, Joe Veleno, and potentially even Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
The Capitals have openly said that they want to give Grubauer a chance on another team, since he won't get the chance there and Ilya Samsonov is ready to make the jump. They get great value for him with the 23rd overall pick in the draft.
What are your thoughts?
