Proposal: Ottawa-Edmonton Blockbuster

[Baemon Severson*]

I've had the pleasure of seeing McD play in person - until you see him live, you can't comprehend how much faster and nimble his is with the puck than any other play in the NHL.

He can't grind the corners like Crosby, but if it's a lose puck McD wins. Every time.

I'm not an EDM fan and I can tell you that there is no reasonable trade than can happen where picks, players, prospects comes back the other way that balances the trade for an asset like McD.....

Good god, this.

I was at the Marty Retirement Ceremony in February and the only guy who was in the same stratosphere speed wise was Hall. His vision and puck handling at top speed was insane and was only 19 and just came back from injury.

No he's not. Maybe in Edmonton he is, but not in the rest of the league.

And of course you speak for the rest of the league, give me a break.

 

[Sempiternal]

No one in the league I'd trade McDavid for.

No one in the league I'd trade McDavid for.

How 'bout Marner, Mathews and Reilly

You haven't seen Karlsson then, lol.

Would not trade EK for any player not named McDavid.

Would not trade EK + Stone for any single player in the league.

Top 10 RW + Top Dman/Top 3 player > Top Player.

Well, considering he was talking about a Devils-Oilers game, why would he?
