Solid proposal... both sides would want to hold onto their guy because they see them as core pieces.
I don’t see how the Oilers can afford to give up any scoring forwards right now... our lack of depth at forward is evident. Can’t say our D depth is any better though.
That said, I look forward to the sure-to-be Expansion Draft... if we can only protect 3 D... McAvoy (guaranteed), Nurse (guaranteed), Klefbom? or Larsson?... this is the same reason I am 99% confident Bouchard is heading back to juniors after 9 games (the other 1% is based on our incompetent management).
Man, would I love a Dman like McAvoy on the Oilers... and the cost would definitely be a Draisaitl type player.
