Value of: What would give up to trade for McDavid?

[stepdad gaary]

Loosely, if you suppose there will be 1 McDavid, 3 Matthews, 10 Marners and 100 Maroons, I'd make an argument for taking the two semi-rare players as opposed to the one super rare player and the common player who could be replaced by anyone else and still perform alongside McDavid.

Of course, there could be 2 McDavids and 6 Matthews' in five years.

theres nothing at all saying you cant have a McDavid and a Matthews. Thats the goal. If you get the McDavid, surround him with talent.

 

[danyhabsfan]

Price+Pacioretty/Galchenyuk

 

[CanadienShark]

Hertl/Couture + Braun + 2017 1st + 2018 1st

No way that gets it done though.

 

[Spartachat]

Crosby and Malkin with 75% of salary retained by the Pens.

 

[dellzor]

Matthews has the number 2 selling jersey on NHL.com (McDavid number 5), I think he's popular enough

Pretty sure it just has to do with the fact that there are more Leafs fan than there are Oilers fans

 

[dellzor]

More now.

More now cause he's proven

 

[dellzor]

Ottawa would give up Cody ceci, a 2017 1st, Colin White and Mike Hoffman for Mcdavid.

And then the Oilers block the Senators forever

Nothing, I'd rather have a legit shot at a Stanley cup not a HFboards cup "aka no.1 overall pick".

 

[Uncle Gary]

Price + Galchenyuk

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Gotta assume by + you mean Matthews + Marner and Nylander

McDavid may outscore Matthews by 10-15 points a season going forward, that isn't worth Marner or Nylander as a plus.

 

[Paulinvancouver]

Mike Chaput. For sure. Can't stand that guy. I'd trade him for anyone. Including mcdavid.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Malkin+Letang

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

1 Superstar and 2 Stars > 1 Generational Player.

The Leafs would have to fill those gaps with players that would not make up for the production lost. Edmonton has every right to demand the world, but don't be offended when people laugh at the ask is Matthews, Marner and Nylander.

That might be true from a pure on-ice player value perspective, but it's not anywhere near true when considering everything off ice (and the salary structure when Edmonton has their own stars).

Nothing, I'd rather have a legit shot at a Stanley cup not a HFboards cup "aka no.1 overall pick".

So to clarify, you'd prefer McDavid.

 

[Skiffer55]

Schiefele, Ehlers, Trouba, 1st, anymore 1sts they want lol.

Enjoy the lottery for 10 years with that lol. I swear people think this is NHL 17 where two players win games by just throwing them out there all the time.

So to clarify, you'd prefer McDavid.

Yeah, I'd guy my team to get one player.

Trading for example trading Malkin+Letang+Sheary for McDavid, mark fayne + 3rd puts them further away from a cup

 

[Flameshomer]

There's data out there that suggests that McDavid could make an AHL squad respectable, so I would trade literally any combination of pieces possible.

 

[A4T1L6]

Nylander and 2 firsts

 

[Empoleon8771]

Malkin+Letang

Lol no, I'd never do this trade.

The most I'd do is Malkin and Maatta for McDavid. I don't think McDavid is much of an upgrade on Malkin in the first place (now or in the long run) and I'd only be adding Maatta due to McDavid being over a decade younger and cheaper.

 

[Deadweight]

Goddamnit I am slow

if the isles can drag ryder out of retirement i think this could actually work

 

[tfong]

Well I gave up Laine, Seguin, Karlsson, Alex Nylander and Barzal for McDavid, Josi, Pastrnak and Derrick Pouliot. Then flipped him later for Galchenyuk, Backstrom(caps) and Ehlers. Then Mcdavid got traded a week later for Tavares and Tarasenko.

So thats what I'd give up for him assuming I had those pieces!
