Honestly, if Ottawa is looking at the Oilers as a trade partner, I think it starts with Draisaitl and an unprotected first as well as Bouchard. Sens don't have a tonne of cap space either, so taking on an overpaid Draisaitl needs to have a sweetener. And they'll want some sort of defensive piece that is cheap, aside from Bouchard the Oilers don't have much in that category to offer, as I don't think anyone outside of mulletville believes Bear as a top pairing guy.

They just don't make sense as trade partners for a big piece like Karlsson.
The sens need a sweetener to take on a signed Draisaitl? I don't think so...plenty of teams would be happy to take him.
