Is McDavid to the Leafs going to be a year long media thing?

The Leafs would have been an unstoppable juggernaut dynasty in the making if they had some McMagic this year. Everyone knows this is true!
 
Could be...if the Oilers do not win the cup, you would have to seriously think McDavid may move on......

Yup and im all for it. The NHL deserves to have him in a big market and I want to see what Draisaitl can do on his own.

Why does the NHL deserve to have McDavid in a big market? I don’t get this whole “deserves” crap about anything (Canada deserves the cup, McDavid deserves a cup, etc)

Hockey fans then and potential new fans coming in. Bettman and owners don’t “deserve” anything if that’s what you initially read.

If McDavid wins the Cup this year, then sure there’s a chance he will move on. But no Cup means he’s staying Oiler. The greatest players don’t change clubs unless they’ve won a cup with their original team. Imo McDavid is one of the games greatest. His legacy is everything. And that means winning the Cup with his original team. Chasing a Cup, and winning, cheapens its value and lessens his legacy. Imo that’s how these greatest of the great players are wired.

And WHY would he choose Toronto? They have way less success than the Oilers.

Lol do you really think the oilers would have any success without McDavid?

Now put the best player on the leafs and you have a better team than the one that took Florida to game 7 with their backup goalie

That would explain why he was crying so much after losing game 7 last year

And his outburst of emotion after going down 0-3 last year too. McDavid (imo) doesn’t see himself as just a generational talent. He sees himself as an all time great, who is in the top tier of those greatest players. To him winning the Cup with his original team is a must. He won’t move on unless he’s done so. Any Cup on another club, without first winning with the Oilers, cheapens that Cup and tarnishes his legacy.

No, it really does not. At the end of the day, hockey is a team sport, and the Oilers attempts at building a contender around McDrai has been mediocre at best. He cannot be at fault for that, willing your way to a cup as a generational talent is A LOT harder in the modern era.

I agree with you....especially with Marner being gone, Toronto is a declining team....who know....it certainly is not impossible that Conner stays with the Oilers....I think it depends if the Oilers win the cup....

If he truly values winning over anything else, he will leave Edmonton, but it wont be to go to Toronto. We are just another old team with a contention-window nearing its expiration.

As fans, we don’t care just so long as McDavid eventually gets a Cup. But to McDavid (imo) it’s different. He believes that to be included with the all time greatest hrs got to win a Cup with his original team. These all time greatest don’t move clubs unless they have that Cup. You can think otherwise, which is your prerogative. But imo McDavid thinks differently that you, me, and almost all nhl players. I’m also saying he not only want one cup but he’s counting how many and comparing his total to the other greatest ever. IMO McDavid understands his legacy is tied to Cups.?

Has he mentioned this anywhere, or is this just speculation on your behalf?

You are buying into the hype that the Leafs are the 2nd best team because they took Florida to 7 games. Got it.

The Leafs playoff history is horribad. McDavid probably runs the other way rather than sign in Toronto.
