But you can fleece someone who's currently at the bottom.
Target a team say, on the eastern seaboard. That way Drai's far away from our division. Maybe one sandwiched amongst the most competitive sports markets in North America. An organization so lost in the desert they took a side trip to the bad lands to dig up an old fossil coach to instill team "culture". Can you guess the organization I'm hinting at? Some team that wears orange so Leon will feel at home. (a fine colour for a sports team, not a political party) Enough hints?
It's Philly! I know Leon has to approve the move, but the Flyers would lose their minds to obtain a big prototypical Philadelphia Lindros Forsberg type. Pray the Flyers don't flip him to L.A. like Kurri.
The deal:
To Philly - Leon Draisaitl and Jack Cambell
To E Town - Ivan Provorov, Travis Konecny, Carter Hart and a few picks. Maybe.
We get the super Sherwood Park tandem in net. Tell them there's no starter, win you're in. RD gets his modern NHL tandem.
Adam or someone will bring up the P.R. challenge that comes with Provorov. Valid concern but this ups the chances Philly does this deal. Ceci can then float away to anywhere.
Konecny fills Draisaitl's center position. Defensively responsible center allowing Nuge to be a full-time winger.
Then all that remains is to plan the Stanley Cup parade whilst doing a handstand from atop the talus dome!
Honestly, I don't care enough to spend time finding out if the cap hits work. Sorry!

The Oilers would be taking on almost 3 mill more in cap.
You'd be bringing in a very underperforming dman who is a locker room cancer. Plus he's a left shot. The Oilers have Nurse, Ekholm, Kulak and Broberg on the left side. They don't need a left shot, the could use an upgrade of Ceci on the right side.
Konecny is a right winger, not a center. So that means you have to play Nuge at second line center and he's proven year after year he's a better winger than center.
|
Hart would be a massive gamble too. Has been as streaky as Campbell. And would be essentially doubling down (or would it be more like septupling by now?) on Dustin Schwartz because that's one of his summer regulars. Jarry, Schwartz's other headline summer regular, has been all over the place too.
Not sure Philly can fill our needs if we're looking for a blockbuster.

If you are trading Drai, you have to get back a legit very good center back that comes in cheaper. They can not trade Drai and have Nuge as their #2. The drop off is just way, way too much. Nuge is a 20-25 goal, 50 pts center. He's got almost a decade of stats to back that up. He's never been able to drive a line, he's never been a gut that elevates his wingers, he needs a winger to elevate him. You'd be giving up 25-30 goals and 70 pts at the center position. Just way too much. If you are trading Drai, you need a 30-70 guy that can win draws and be on both special teams, plus a winger that makes of the rest of the points.
When you are trading a top 5 player on a dirt cheap contract, I don't see a trade where the Oilers come out being better after.
