Talented winger for McD and talented 2nd line center to replace Draisaitl
Lol**** off. Drae needs to be traded to Colorado in the summer for Barrie + Kerfoot + Bowers + COL 1st!
It's happening, deal with it. Sooner or later, I'm getting my sexy german beast.
I guess this is better than ‘he sucks, he’s overpaid, he can’t drive a line but you should trade him to us anyway’
Drai isn’t going anywhere, we need him.
Let me preface this by saying that I haven’t watched you play at all this year so can’t comment on any developments this season. But I’ve watched at least 25 games a year for the past few seasons to watch Leon’s development...I’ve been a huge fan of his since he was a prospect, lived in Buffalo at the time and told everyone that they should pick Drae 1st overall when they had the chance. And from what I saw; you needed Barrie & more guys who can skate with skill...even with Drai.
Your transition game really suffered when McDavid wasn’t on the ice, and though Nurse is an underrated PMD, Tyson is ****ing elite in transition at ES. Having him or Connor on the ice for most of the game...while surrounded by more guys who could keep up & contribute; could leave you even more dangerous than trying to cobble together a line around Drai and banking on the forwards to make up for a blueline core that won’t be too dynamic until Bouchard is riffling stretch passes left & right.
Not saying it will or won’t be better than just keeping Leon; but I think that trade would be a win-win with some jiggling...at least if you didn’t squander the pick.
