Yes it does strangely not in Edmonton though so here we are someone getting creative because you can't have nice things.If we found a RW to play RW and a LW to play LW that would not be creative, but it kind of works for other teams. Those are the things we should be trying.
He wants more minutes why not?Let’s try McD on defence first
Wow, glad you’re not the coach.He wants more minutes why not?
Fedorov was a similar playing style he was good enough to win a Norris.
I guess the smiley isent needed ?
Scotty Bowman says hold his beer.
Has Talbot considered playing forward?

Ok, how's this for creative. Let's tie Drai and Luic together around the waste. Then they just protect the puck and drive to the net as an invincable two headed beast. Drai handles the puck skating backwards while Lucic acts like a bulldozer. Their combined weight and size everyone bounces off them like a tank.

Let's just put them in the net with Koskinen, their size would prevent any pucks from ever going in, but it'd basically be a 5-on-3 so McDavid would need to score 1 goal a game to win.
Not sure about the laugh.Let’s try McD on defence first

McDavid would be a better Dman than Bouchard/Bear wingers
I'm not saying play them at Center.
Wing is entirely entirely different there are players in the league who haven't been inside thier own blueline in years it's not a fair comparison at all.
Defense is much harder physically and mentally for younger guys Wing is the least mental position without question .
I'm not suggesting nuclear war or burnng any villages bring them up run them through some drills watch some video take some reps on his line and trial run it there literally is nothing franchise threatening with experimenting with the idea you have almost no other options.
I mean you can go back to arguing about Benning for X forward for the next 80 threads no skin off Deez Newts lol
I just find it funny that people get so upset at a creative suggestion that is viable .
Let’s try McD on defence first
He doesn't need world class wingers. He needs a couple of decently capable guys who understand where to be, ala Big Rig, whom the team dearly misses.McDavid needs world class wingers, not wingers that have never played the game on wing.
I was thinking what negative effect could it have trying out Bouchard or Bear on Mcdavids Wing ?
Both can fire the puck are RH and have great offensive instincts Drai could take his own line you could move Nugent Hopkins with Drai on the second line or move him back to the vacant 3C spot.
Both guys have a perpensity for scoring from the back end and while thier games aren't rounded out enough to run a blueline.
Perhaps trying them in an offensive role with Connor might be an experiment worth trying . One could be a trigger man on the top of the circle on the PP Mcdavid must miss having a RH weapon to feed in stride .
I'd try one or both on the wing for a brief time 5-6 games and see if anything develops at worst they get a different perspective of playing with Connor for the future sitting next to him and communicating in game.
Both are still on Entry Level Deals and it could prove useful if they acclimatize to forward in case of emergency in the future?
Just a thought I personally would have tried it by now .
OP is obviously a silly idea, but I'm a little surprised it's getting THIS much hate. I personally think it's interesting to discuss even if it isn't the actual solution to our problems.

BTW this is the worst thread on here...by a country mile.
With so many holes on this team should we consider trading McDavid to fix the problems
