The process of getting McDavid would cost Buffalo so much it wouldn't be worth it. He'd just be jumping from one Oilers to another.

I think it's worth it for both teams. Let's assume that was the 1st overall pick and the Oilers select Hughes, they'd be able to roll out a 2019-2020 roster of:

Hughes - Draisaitl - Chiasson
Jost - RNH - Puljujarvi
Lucic - Brodziak - Kassian
Khaira - Spooner - Rattie

Klefbom - Larsson
Nurse - Barrie
Russell - Manning/Sekera

With Makar/Bowers coming up through the AHL or outright making the team.

Meanwhile, the Avs would finally have that secondary scoring while still keeping roughly the same lineup:

Landeskog - MacKinnon - Rantanen (I know, McDavid > MacKinnon but this top line needs to stay together)
Kaut - McDavid - Compher
Nieto - Soderberg - Calvert
Dries - Kerfoot - Bourque

Girard - Johnson
Cole - Zadorov
Nemeth - Barberio/Meloche/Timmins

As aren't landing McDavid without mackinnon as part of a package

Hurts, but I'd move Matthews and Rielly for him; would that work?

It would take something like this, yes. Two things I'd like to point out; we don't know Matthews next contract number (Reilly is a $5 Million AAV -Edit) and McDavid is on pace for a 120 point season. On a team that has no secondary scoring. Think about that for a sec :)
 
The idea that you think we would gut the best team in the league for one player is what’s laughable. The idea that we’re on the best scoring pace since the mid ‘90s Pens while giving up 3-5 goals a night and you think the solution is to trade a legit 1D and arguably the best young goalie in the league (on top of a ppg 1C which is an absurd add) for slightly more scoring is what’s laughable. Come on people, at least try to use your brains for a change.

The GM and coach may not gut the team, but the owner should.
Avg ticket prices
(4) Edmonton $272.75
(26) Tampa Bay $101.79

Before Tampa became a powerhouse team the ticket prices were $49!!!!
Sure buddy, they don't need a gate attraction at all.

Sorry for the double post but I'd like to think Jeff Vinik is 1) not a complete :eek::eek::eek::eek: and 2) has learned from our previous owners to leave hockey operations in the hands of the GM.
 
Don't like the age difference. Think young, like McDavid
Likely Kucherov, Sergachev, Vasily plus 1st for McDavid plus cap dump

LMAO dream on. We wouldn’t trade Kuch for McDavid straight up, much less with that ridiculous add. We’ll keep our players and continue being one of the top teams in the league and you can keep McDavid and continue being irrelevant.

Unlike Edmonton we sell out every game. The best gate attraction is winning.:thumbu:
 
Any GM who has a good amount of really talented, young and impactful players would be stupid to even think about this trade because it would take almost all of these players to get Mcdavid and at the end of the day the team would be going nowhere with Mcdavid and a bunch of nobodies. Edm itself is a proof of it.
 
Can we please stop with these idiotic Mcdavid proposals!!! This thread should be closed and deleted.

Yeah, these threads are started by fans of a mediocre team just so they can have a massive public circle jerk about how valuable they think their best player is and how all the actually successful teams would supposedly be happy to gut their rosters to acquire him. When somebody dares to contradict their fantasies and says “no thanks, we’re good” they go apeshit. It’s sad, really.
