Value of: Connor McDavid

[LTIR]

If the Oilers fail with McDavid/Draisaitl they should be banned from picking in the top 3 for the next 10 years minimum.

Oilers have failed with this duo for 5+ yrs now.

 

[DarthProbert]

Zibanejad and Fox.

 

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

It does not matter ….. as Chirrelli and now Holland have all ready screwed up the depth options!

 

[LTIR]

Zibanejad and Fox.

f*** Fox after what he pulled in CGY.
Draisaitl for Zibane+KAMiller+Kakko/Lafreniere

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Draisaitl is the only one that’s actually tradeable due to contract

having said that, it also makes him the most valuable asset in the nhl

 

[SI90]

The cost would be astronomical to trade for McDavid.

I wouldn’t even know where to start as a baseline? Team would have to have good roster players + deep high end prospect pool to put together a package.

 

[Sniper99]

None, cause it would be stupid.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Here before thread lock.

 

[Fatass]

When is Connor a UFA? That’s when he changes teams. Teams will be clearing cap to take a run at Connor.

 

[BLNY]

In before the lock ...

 

[BudBundy]

Most Oilers fans will not agree but I think the team would be a better team with the return McDavid trade would provide . I do not see much of a drop of from Draisaitl .

McDavid return would need to included at least 2 of 1D, 1G and 2C . All players would have to be on the younger side . We would even consider McDavid for 30+ year old players unless they are the cherry on top . On top of the above add picks and prospects .

Special mention to TML fans JT and Matthews don't cut it . Matthews would be gone quicker then Pronger and JT is over paid . Plus you don't have that number 1 D we need

Did you really need to do this?

"The Oilers should trade the best players in the league for lesser players, that's how they'll get better".

Sigh.

 

[snipes]

f*** Fox after what he pulled in CGY.
Draisaitl for Zibane+KAMiller+Kakko/Lafreniere

Hard pass.

 

[FameFlame069]

Yeah cause taking out one of the best players since Crosby will really help the oilers, I'd say maybe it's time to switch out the FO and not just the GM/HC ...

 

[ole ole]

Hoffman, Allen and a 2nd

I'd go down as low as a 1st but top 10 protected.

 

[PettersonHughes]

Rangers probably have the "highest" probability of making something like that happen (still unlikely that a team would gut itself, and unlikely that the Oil would trade either of them). That being said, hypothetically, probably some mix of Zibanejad/ Shesterkin (it'll probably take moving him for the Oil to consider it)/ some of Fox/ Trouba/ Miller to get it done (maybe Koskinen goes back with either 97/29).

 

[Not Jared Cowen]

You don’t trade McDrai. You stop handing out bad contracts like Lucic, Russell, Koskinen, etc., learn to draft outside the top-10 picks in the draft and full commit to competent internal development to integrate cheap talent into the team to support the 2 top-5 talents you have.

Pittsburgh and Tampa have literally already built the blueprint on winning around 2-3 cornerstone pieces.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Lucic and a 3rd 750K retained?

Edit: Some other smart ass beat me to it. Looch wouldn't waive anyway

 

[Sendhelplease]

I would offer every player in the sharks organization for McDavid...

 

[FSL KINGS]

Lucic and a 3rd 750K retained?

Got to at least add Monahan to balance out the salary.

 

[Finner]

There are teams that are worse than these two players. McDavid is worth what 2 star players + 3-5 1st?

 

[Remember2004]

f*** Fox after what he pulled in CGY.
Draisaitl for Zibane+KAMiller+Kakko/Lafreniere

One thing a Flames fan and Oilers fan can agree on. Thank you.

McDavid isn't tradeable with his contract
31 teams disagree.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

The GM that trades McDavid is a GM that doesn't have a job soon after, even if the return is the biggest return of all time, bar none.

 

[Three On Zero]

Draisaitl has the better value trade wise
