Sure the Oilers would be better if a team offered them Barkov or a number one D for Drais ….. but who is doing that ?
No team trading for Drais who he would sign with is offering top assets .

Teams trade players all the time, its about building a TEAM and addressing needs
They could have gotten a high end D for sure...plus cap space that would be used to bring in another player
I think they were incredibly fortunate to get close and I don't think you win a cup without a far superior blue line. My opinion, the proof will be on the ice.
Drai is great on the PP with McDavid...I think a lot of good players could be great on the PP with McDavid
