If you discuss trading for McDavid think of the pieces you absolutely 100% don't want to give up. Then add.
Stamkos
Mcdonagh
Vasy
for
Mcdavid
Talbot
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

Hurts, but I'd move Matthews and Rielly for him; would that work?
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.
Lol you're right, our forwards are the team's biggest strength. So why would we heavily downgrade both defence and goaltending to upgrade on Stamkos? That proposal just makes no sense.With McDavid and Kucherov. And the other 8 top 6 forwards you have.
Sorry for the double post but I'd like to think Jeff Vinik is 1) not a completeThe 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.
Don't like the age difference. Think young, like McDavid
Likely Kucherov, Sergachev, Vasily plus 1st for McDavid plus cap dump

Unlike Edmonton we sell out every game. The best gate attraction is winning.![]()
Can we please stop with these idiotic Mcdavid proposals!!! This thread should be closed and deleted.
