If EDM is going to overpay for PK, then find out whether they would do same for Gio or Dougie. I doubt the 4th on its own is enough if Bergevin was asking for #4 and Drai for PK. If EDM is considering that deal, BT would be nuts not to try and get a similar deal.
But more importantly these rumors suggest he is willing to consider a serious re-architecting of the team. That's very interesting to me. I think you have to go back to Cliff to find a Calgary GM with that kind of confidence.

Even then I don't do it. Draisaitl had a pretty significant drop in play the 2nd half of last season and had a terrible rookie season. With #4, the chances of getting a Dougie-quality player, at that selection, within the next 5 years are low. If Edmonton wants BT to solve their most pressing need they've had for the last half decade, it needs to be more than Drai + 4. If Hall was a RW, then probably Hall + 4.
