Edm says no. They have a load of young dmen already, no sense trading a big C like Draisaitl (who can play wing) unless it's for veteran help on the top 2D

@chirp I don't agree with you mc david and nugent hopkins take up 1st line and 2nd line so no need for draisaitl and they don't have many d prospects they could use another one

They don't have many D prospects? What?
And, yeah, I guess having C depth is a terrible idea too, right? You're just, well, wrong.

cx:

1. As Chirp set, center depth is super important, plus Draisaitl can play wing.

2. Pretty sure Chirp knows the oilers prospects better and he's right, they have loads of D prospects. Just because their NHL D sucks/sucked, doesn't mean they have no prospects.

Blues say no to those proposals

I agree with @Chirps comment, I don't know the oilers but what good young D prospects do they have besides Nurse, Klefbom and Reinhart?

In terms of D prospects the Oilers have that could be of Severson-quality (including offensive and defensive Dmen here: Davidson (may even make the team as a 7th Dman), Musil, Lagesson. Oesterle. Gernat (tho he's sliding), Hunt, etc. possibly others I'm forgetting off the top of my head. And that's without including their top 3 (Nurse, Reinhart, Klefbom [tho I don't really think of Klefbom as a prospect anymore, he's essentially a lock to remain with the team after how good he was last season]). Severson might be a step up on Davidson but not by a ton and also has more experience. Does that make him worth Draisaitl? Not even close. Especially if you compare the Oilers C depth to their D depth:

Draisaitl, Yakimov (awesome, but bottom-6), Roy, Moroz (not living up to his draft position). That's about it. Something like that at least. Don't see how Draisaitl for Severson makes a lick of sense at all.
