A compelling case is made for this trade. In my opinion, Hronek is totally expendable with more defense prospects graduating soon. Veleno is essentially a throw in too since he's still very unproven. Vrana and the first are what would hurt the most. However, to get back a guy like Draisaitl, I'd make this trade in a heartbeat.

Re: Draisaitl Trade Proposal?
A bunch of our garbage for one of the best players in the league.
If one of Seider or Raymond or even both aren't involved (which may still not be enough) in these "trade proposals" then it's just complete idiocy.

Re: Draisaitl Trade Proposal?
lol I'd do that in a second because the wings give up practically nothing. Who knwos, with Holland as the GM of edmonton we could probably get McDavid for Danny D and the rights to Justin Abdelkader, need someone to pull that piano

Re: Draisaitl Trade Proposal?
First, I'll say that I don't think Holland would ever trade Draisaitl. He's not the type of GM who would trade an All Star talent, a leader, one of the hardest workers on the team.
But, let's say he does. The ONLY reason Holland could trade Draisaitl would be to give himself some cap room.
Draisaitl's cap hit is 8.5.
Hronek + Vrana + Veleno is over that number, so that's a nonstarter.
I won't even mention that Edmonton already has 3 RD in Barrie, Ceci, Bouchard. So, there's no room for Hronek.
My asking price would be Edvinsson, Cossa, and two 1st round picks.

I think Holland is Moron Numero Uno, but it's not like he traded Zetterberg or Datsyuk for trash.Wizard of Corsica wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 10:58 amConsider the other party involved.CoconutBackwards wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 10:12 am A bunch of our garbage for one of the best players in the league.

This trade proposal just reeks of a local homer.

Drai @ $8,5M is a steal.
I wouldn't trade him for Larkin + Raymond + Seider.

Re: Draisaitl Trade Proposal?
The only way I see Holland trading Draisaitl is if the man wants out of Edmonton. He's a top five player in the league, and he's not paid like one. They have plenty of other routes they can run to build a better team around their stars, especially if they can rely on McDrai to outscore the bulk of their problems.
