He was drafted last year. He is where he should be. Maybe if Edm hadn't put all their 1st round picks for the last decade directly into the NHL they wouldn't have sucked as long as they have.

I would consider your proposal (from the Canuck's perspective) if Poolparty was a centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't "great management" they have been utter crap for AGES, and the next time McJesus goes down they will be exposed for the crap team that they really are. They still can't defend, they have an average goalie, and without McDavid their offensive is good, but not great. Who cares how they got McDavid. They gave him. And the crap management that had them languishing as a perennial bottom feeder is long gone. Talbot is actually a very good goalie. They're a couple pieces away from being a very good team. Vancouver is fairly early in their rebuild. They have some good pieces but it's going to be a few more painful years before they're a legit threat again. Anyone who thinks Vancouver would be more attractive to LD than his situation in Edmonton is just looking through homer glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I think LD would be happier getting paid and playing as a 1C anywhere instead of carrying McDavids luggage in EDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sure he'd much rather play with Megna and Cramarossa than McDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahlen and Boeser won't be top 6 players until at least the 2019-2020 season, and that is very optimistic. McDavid is already the best player in the NHL. Why would Draisaitl come here? If you want further proof, see ZAR going to Pittsburgh to play with Malkin and Crosby, instead of coming to VAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of that^^^^ Draisaitl is not a very likely target for the pieces that we would be willing to move. Most likely targets are guys with top 6 C potential that are further down the depth chart on their team, and their team has a need to improve their defense (cuz that's what we mostly would be willing and able to trade). Main targets: Reinhart Nylander RNH Please note that I said POTENTIAL to be a 1/2C. I don't think any of these guys are guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants to play his natural position on the top line, he could do that here. And he'd be playing with two very good wingers in Dahlen and Boeser.
