Eklund Rumor: McDavid for 1st overall and Knies

[kevsh]

And yet Brady just got 3 1sts and a 2nd with 2 years remaining on his deal. I don't think anyone's worried about McDavid's age when there is probably no point in his remaining years where Brady will be better than him.

McDavid would certainly return more than Hughes which was essentially 4 1st round picks.

Yes, as I said, more than Hughes but far less than the equivalent of 6 firsts (or the Lindros deal, whichever) which was my main point.

Well Hughes was basically 4 1sts, so more than that isn't far off 6 lol.

People think MCD is waiving his NMC to go to leafs?

 

[apadilla]

He has a full no movement and if he doesn't want to be there he's choosing where he goes

Correct. I’ve read he in enamored with California.

Could you imagine.. McDavid pushes to bring Babs to Edmonton then leaves before the season starts, and his former team is saddled with this sociopath for a coach.

Would be amazing

How much do you hate my team?lol.

 

[King Woodballs]

while I think Knies is over rated.
If Edmonton gets the sense that McDavid isn’t signing another deal.
This would be a decent return.

Even funnier would be McD and Matthews both leaving via UFA

The only one leaving is McDavid in 2 seasons when he comes home to Toronto.

I'm sorry I should've used the term 'hilarious'.

I'd definitely feel bad for you Czechboy.

Pointless for Toronto and McDavid:

Toronto gets a bit better, so they can finish 8-10th
McDavid gets further away from the cup

There's also no point in trading both of them, but if you were to do that and to say "we're keeping Willy long term, Cowan will be good, Klobar can be good, we'll sign Marchment and McMann on the LW," I'd just take the best offers for them with either roster players, NHL ready prospects or sick picks or some combo.

If I'm Edmonton, I do this and ship em both out for best package (more offense is pointless in Edmonton) and inject a massive dose of youth into the team. I.e McKenna for Nemec+Silayev+12th and Knies for Fowler, Zharovsky, Kapanen

No it to mention Edmonton also has the second best player between the two teams with Toronto having the third and fourth best player.

Blues are reuniting McDavid with Broberg and Holloway. They are collecting 1sts to make the offer
