Fun to think about but this deal isn't happening for so many reasons
I don't think there's anyone out there Edmonton trades Draisaitl for. I realize it's Chiarelli and anything can happen, but come on.
Price is perhaps the best goalie in the world but he doesn't play forward so he's not going to solve their offensive woes.

what a horrific deal for the Oilers
Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.
Lol....put the crack pipe down and step away from the keyboard.
If you want to take a look at something that's close to working:
6.50 M - Price
4.90 M - Galchenyuk
1.50 M or less random cheap defenseman on an deal with no more than 1 year left after this one.
for
4.70 M - Lehtera
5.00 M - MacDonald (this is real worst contract in the NHL)
2.75 M - Elliott
The # of contracts match, and a goalie goes back to Montreal, and no money is retained, although clearly, you'd want them to retain some money, maybe only in the last 4 or 5 years. Of course the talent going back isn't so good, but the original proposal was a bit nuts: Talbot/Strome/something is more reasonable.
Admittedly the length of Price's contract is an issue, but there are enough bad contracts out there, that you can find something that works for the short term.

A 100% healthy Price is a better goalie than Talbot but not at the expense of Leon / Chucky .
I sometimes get sensitive when the isles are bashed so I wont comment on the Price contract
A wise decision, although Price's contract is one of the issues with having a superduperstar who is the face of your franchise for a long time. Those things can go south, and when they do, it can be ugly. It can be performance based, or simply "wanting the guy off the team" based - see Subban.
