I won't be surprise if a big trade involving Ryan Nugent Hopkins and Nathan Beaulieu with prospects and picks are involved.
Edmonton's defense is just brutal.
Pretty sure McDavid and Draisaitl are their future #1-2.
Edmonton needs to unload some cap space to fill out a balance team.
In a few years: McDavid, Hall, Draisaitl, Erberle, RNH will eat up 50% of team cap.
Why wouldn't you be surprised?? All these years they have been the furthest thing from making the POs and always needed a Dman. Now, they're 3pts away from the POs and are doing it without McDavid who was on a ppg pace and without Yakupov, but they would trade their 3rd best scorer???...
They have a chance to make the POs for the first time in a decade, they're not going to move key roster players. That would be very surprising.
