Thread: Moving Draisaitl and Nurse
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>YeahRighttt</b></div><div>Ok, so you took my reply in stride instead of getting bent out of shape (like many here do) . So thank you &amp; I will stop poking the doll.
On a serious note: we will probably never see what a Nurse Jones pairing is like because they are both overpaid. Hawks don’t mind Jones as he is by far the best option they have at top pairing RD but can’t see them being willing to take Nurse w/o being paid handsomely to do so.
Vlasic is part of the future core &amp; only slightly lest untouchable than Bedard.</div></div>

Appreciate it buddy!
Yeah, that’s what was so alluring about it, the 19M$ pair who should earn 11-12 and play 18-19 minutes a night :) Didn’t mean to disrespect the Hawks though.. since it probably wouldn’t have been as funny for you guys ;)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FarhanLuigi</b></div><div>I cant believe I'm saying this, as I continually tell people here that cap space is a great return in itself.
Your overrating cap space.
These superstar players like McDavid, MacKinnon and Draisaitl will always be underpaid because of the max cap limit. You are never saving money trading away special talent like that.</div></div>

I hear you and I agree to some extent! But surrounding McDavid with as many good to great contracts as possible in his prime should be the no.1 priority. There’s a business approach to it as well. Risk diversification. McD, Drai, Hyman, Kane, RNH is a really strong top-6, but if McD or Drai can’t play they’re probably not contending. If anyone is injured in the proposed top-9 they still got a shot because of the depth IMO. Which leads me back, again, to my question. Would this lineup improve McDavid’s/Edmonton’s chances of winning?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jco5ta5</b></div><div>That's a bit rich bud. He was great and he may still improve but he's not a franchise defenseman like you're suggesting here with the top 5 pick. Nurse also won't cost "multiple 1sts" that is absurd. PLD got traded 1 to 1 with zero retention.

That said: mw6 there really is no way you're getting Foligno who is basically the team's captain and Vlasic who is the team's current best defenseman and put up pretty solid metrics on a horrific D corp last year in his rookie season. If he hadn't had a few extra games prior to this season already he would've been talked about in the Calder voting, but he didn't qualify. Nurse and Jones are arguably two of the worst contracts in the league. No way Chicago wants or needs him.

For everyone else reading this post, Davidson is building a team of his own vision. Anything he's acquired, signed, or drafted is likely OFF the table. He appears very calculated in his moves so acquiring and signing Foligno and signing Vlasic to 6 years is purposeful and he's not going to then just flip them for parts. I encourage you before you make an ACGM involving Chicago, it shouldn't involve any Davidson pieces.</div></div>

I’m sorry, I had him mixed up with Marc-Edouard. I’m embarrassed. I was thinking two veterans who might want to coattail and McDavid for a/another chance at a cup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>It's okay but keep in mind Vlasic was the #2 defensive dman in the entire league this past season, as a rookie, playing 1st line minutes in the toughest situations, on a horrible Hawks team. Vlasic is an absolute stud of a shut down dman and given his age, is extremely valuable to every team in the league. Had the Hawks not given Vlasic 22 games to taste the NHL prior to this past season, he would of been in conversation for rookie of the year this past season as this was his first year as a true NHL player. Not saying he would win against Faber or Bedard, but he would have been nominated and part of the conversation as the best 3 or 4 rookies this season.</div></div>

Oh, jeez.. I’m so sorry, I mixed him up with Marc-Eduard! What an embarrassment I am! No need to chastise me for this!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Honestly don’t mind it that much. McMichael is a nice piece and the picks are OK. No interest in Van Reimsdyk and I don’t know much about the other guy. You can take out the 3rd but you’d have to add another prospect (A or B+) to get me to bite.</div></div>
Unfortunately Leafs have to take on some salary to make it work, and I wouldn’t mind keeping TVR around if Caps didn’t need to get someone to take the load off of Carlson, and TVR isn’t that guy. Really reliable 2nd/3rd pair ‘tweener.

So I’m not sure Caps would even go this high, so I doubt that sort of prospect would included instead of a third. I’ll give you two options instead:

McMichael, Protas, TVR, 1st 2024, 2nd 2025 and Brent Johnson
Or
McMichael, Nick Jensen, Andrew Cristall, 1st 2025, 2nd 2026, 3rd 2024
