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

Geez, almost like he plays on the team with the biggest hockey market. Imagine that....:help:.

Pietrangelo + Tarasenko

Assuming the Blues then lock Shatty up themselves.

Price + Weber + your choice of prospect (except McCarron and Sergachev) + 1st

Marner + Nylander + Rielly + 2017 1st

Probably the best deal, both teams might be better as a result

That guts the Leafs on the back end and trades their upcoming first which they would probably use to target a high priority dman. McDavid is good, but I think the value of what the Oilers would want to come back is beyond insanity.

Still, are the Leafs so starved for money they'll destroy their team on ice in order to have a more marketable and popular player?

...Didn't the Leafs just execute a perfect tank for Matthews?

The roster was gutted and an AHL calibre roster was put out there in 2015-16 intentionally. Looking at the results, hard to argue against it but they literally just destroyed the on ice team to get a #1 pick who is the "more marketable and popular player" compared to what they had with their old core group.

Drafting someone by trading away excess fat isn't the same as gutting your team of the future for one guy

I think something like..

Galchenyuk + Radulov + 1st 2017

for

McDavid + Eberle


..is fair for both sides, but then again neither side would ever do it.

No point even having this discussion with the Devils. By the time we gave up the assets necessary we would be left with a first line of something like Cammalleri McDavid Smith-Pelley
