I could see moving drai first for a defenseman and a goalie and then you hope to God they have some type of major affect on overall team play and mcdavid has success next year.

If Edmonton loses tonight, that would be 11 points in 17 games. A 53 point pace.

To hit 95 points, they would have to play at 106 point pace the rest of the way.

Still very possible in their super weak division

 

[Wayward DP]

He ages a year for every loss recently

Never thought i'd be on team Tim Peel, but here we are.

Spec is a joke but fuck Tim Peel. Everything that's wrong with reffing, and now the guy is clearly trying to get himself some kind of media/podcast/whatever gig.

yeah, Peel is the first person who has ever made me feel the slightest bit bad for Spector. well done, Tim.

and also, as Spec correctly points out, a terrible ref.

sad jack is sadder than ever

 

[WellPlayed]

Feel kind of bad for Jack, seemed like a genuinely good dude.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

And to keep earning his money, he needs to keep destroying himself for years.

He should take some sort of mental time off.

Confidence is such a crazy thing.

Maybe, but I look around at the times most likely to be interested in Drai that he would waive for (imo, Carolina, Boston, NYR, FLA, maybe NJ, Dallas, Vegas) and I don't see anyone other than Boston with two good goalies and two top pairing defenders that would allow them to move one of each. If Edmonton wants a goalie, the only team that has two is Boston. Is Boston moving Swayman and McAvoy for Draisaitl? I'm going to say that they don't. Drai is more of a winger than a centre and Boston already has an elite trigger man winger who does the things Drai does offensively, but isn't a waste case in his own end.

The best fit/need combo imo is Carolina. They need an offensive game breaker, and Carolina has young skill forwards and in prime defenders they can spare that could probably fit in really nicely there (one of Necas/Svech, one of Pesce/Skjei with an extension number agreed on, Nikishkin, and picks).

i suck everyday and I don't get 5 million bucks a year. He'll be fine,

 

[LeafOfFaith]

You’re probably not sucking the right people.

 

[MindzEye]

You’re probably not sucking the right people.

 

[zeke]

The Habs should try to trade for Drai.

One or two of Suzuki/Caufield/Dach/Slafkovsky.

One or two of Guhle/Barron/Xhekaj/Harris.

One of two their goalies.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

So subtract that package, add 1.5 years of Drai, even fully extended, and then they’re…better?
