Proposal: Two Draisaitl Trade Ideas

[McSuper]

Draisaitl isn't going anywhere.......says everyone other then Chiarelli

Been talking to Chia ? Last year Chia made it clear he would match any offer sheet . Yup sounds like a guy Chia wants to move .

The Blues should at least consider it, they're not giving away the future with that. Columbus on the other hand says hell no.

 

[McYoungGuns]

If you want Seth Jones and you expect us to add, you're offering us the wrong center.

Atrocious idea for both sides.

lol thats fine but if you're implying u have anything that would even remotely equal McDavid I question your mental capacity, not for your whole franchise, not for the entire state of Ohio, sorry but please don't say anything that nonsensical again

I do not believe that we have anything we can offer that would entice Edmonton to give up McDavid, no. The reverse isn't quite true with Jones, but that's only because y'all have McDavid.

Guy’s been a good player for three seasons now. He’s about to have back to back 70+ point seasons - that’s a great player.

Sorry, great player. Ok even more so why would you want to trade him?

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Sorry, great player. Ok even more so why would you want to trade him?

He thinks NHL 18 is reality.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I wouldn’t. Not sure why OP would.

Teams like Vegas and Toronto are showing that maybe you don’t need that surefire #1 defenceman to win in this league. Speed and offense are the new gritensity.

I think Pittsburgh showed that last year. I would agree to an extent. You obviously can't throw trash out there and expect to win. Your goaltending better be sharp too.

I think it would be in the best interest of the Oilers to trade their upcoming pick for a good player who's cost controlled but not fresh out of the rookie draft.

Let's say Oilers get 3rd pick - likely Zadina. Great talent, obviously. With the young talent Edmonton already has, I can see it being beneficial to trade that pick for someone with more experience than a fresh rookie.

Nyr - zuc, 1st 20l8 (their's or one of their 3)
Ott - Hoffman, 1st (later, Penguins 2018?)
Ana - Rakell
Carolina - Slavin, earlyish pick (Slavin's cost-controlled contract will determine pick range)
Dal - Heiskanen, pick. (I'm not up to speed on true value of Heiskanen compared to Zadina but think it's interesting). Heiskanen would be raw in the NHL as well which goes against my original point.

Sorry if I'm on off with my propositions above, it's just a spitball possibility of what they could get.

Whatcha think?

I think Carolina isn't moving Slavin.

The Oilers are playing well and passing teams right now. I honestly think the pick will be in the 9-12 range.

That said, I’d be ok with trading it.

Blues fans and Oilers fans have discussed a Draisaitl-Parayko swap extensively. I think I can confidently say that both sides agree that there is not a deal to be made, and that both sides respect each other and their positions. What may seem as a fair trade in terms of value, often does not take in to consideration either teams needs, nor the negative effect on their respective roster constructions. Edmonton is not trading Draisaitl, and St. Louis is not trading Parayko. (Or Kyrou). Let's leave it at that for now.

 

[Soundwave]

Draisaitl - 0.95 ppg this year

Matthews - 0.94 ppg this year

Eichel - 0.93 ppg this year

Edmonton would be stupid to trade this player. Matthews is likely getting 10.5+ on his next contract too.

Lol Dallas isnt trading Heiskanen+pick just to pick 3rd again andhave to wait a year again for the prospect to be ready. Heiskanen is good to go. No sense in trading him for a pick

YIKES!!

 

[Seachd]

I’d rather have Draisaitl than either Parayko or Jones, so I guess that’s a pass.

 

[Viqsi]

I’d rather have Draisaitl than either Parayko or Jones, so I guess that’s a pass.

I'd rather have Jones at $5.4m/year than Draisaitl at $8.5m/year.

I guess we’ve settled the thread then?

Sure seems that way. Good talk.

Why are the Oilers interested in a RHD? (Jones and Parayko, they have Larsson)

 

[DRW204]

Why are the Oilers interested in a RHD? (Jones and Parayko, they have Larsson)

it seems like they need a better PMD/O ability. Not sure about their long term cap situation (guessing not the greatest with McJesus/RNH/Drail/Looch and Talbot due for a raise), but why not just sign Mike Green or trade RNH instead of Drai.

 

[mouz135]

Why are the Oilers interested in a RHD? (Jones and Parayko, they have Larsson)

Because Larsson isn't the top pairing Dman the Oilers thought he would be. Thus, they once again need to trade for a defenceman

 

[Brock Radunske]

Holy smokes. Lots of 'no!' in this thread

 

[rent free]

Why are the Oilers interested in a RHD? (Jones and Parayko, they have Larsson)

cuz he's their only legit top-4 rhd

 

[thadd]

Come on guys isn't it safe to say that it doesn't make sense for Edmonton to trade Drai unless the other team gives a massive overpayment?

Something stupid like Tarasenko + Parayko for Drai + Russell sounds like an overpayment to me but it still doesn't make sense to me for Edmonton to trade Drai.

You'd think that someone would have overpaid to get the Penguins' 2nd best forward in Malkin years ago even if it would have taken an overpayment to get him and he went nowhere.
