^^^^ not sure I fully agree. I agree with the principal of what you are saying, but if the Oilers have decided at this point Draisaitl is the young centre they value most and RNH is the guy they willing to part with, they should stick to their guns.
RNH will net them what they need on the back end at some point. The fact they were willing to part with him shows the right thought process. It's actually good they didn't jump at the trade that was available now and move a player they'd prefer to keep. The gave the assets to get what they want on the back end, now they just need to patient for the right deal and partner who will give them what they want for the player they want to give up.
