Dallas can't get enough of those Oilers
The craziness continued late Thursday evening as the Stars and Pens hooked up in a very quick deal that sees the two teams swap young studs.
To Pittsburgh
Nico Hischier
To Dallas
Leon Draisaitl
All the trade credit goes to Goffie here as he sent me a PM that only needed 1 response - "sure".
From the Dallas perspective, I really like Nico, he was the only player in this draft i really wanted. With that said, i think his ceiling is what Leon is now, so to me this move just takes out any risk related to a kid that hasn't played an NHL game yet. I also do like Leon and think hes the real deal.
I don't know what to say about all these Oilers...its kind of gross but i'll see how long i can live with it.
Thanks Goffie for the easy and interesting deal.
