Would you trade Karlsson straight up for RNH?
Because RNH has shown too be a better all around Center in his career than Draisaitl, and he's on a better contract.
Draisaitl hasn't proven to be an elite top line center, just because he's paid like one, doesn't make him one.
Away from McDavid, he's shown to be a average top 2 center, capable of 50ish points, while being half decent defensively. RNH has also shown to be a 50 point center while being far better in his 2 way game.
So ya, Edmonton has to sweeten the pot for Ottawa to take on 7 years of overpaid Draisaitl if they are giving up the far superior player, and sending out less money.
I can't think of too many teams that would give up an elite defenseman for an overpaid top 6C, without a serious add.
