Oiler fan here.
McDavid to Florida for:
Aaron Ekblad with 1 million retained.
Alexander Barkov with 1 million retained.
Oilers get a potential #1 defenseman (with health issues) and a potential #1b center to along with Leon. The salary retained makes it worth it for the Oilers in terms of cap.
The hockey value of this deal is in favor of Edmonton if only slightly IMO. The market value of this trade obviously in favor of Florida.
Don't care if this is ridiculous from either perspective but after watching how amazing Conner is, and still most likely to improve, that's the kind of deal I would expect back in return for Conner. Honestly maybe even a pick or a prospect to Edmonton as well.
You crazy man. IF you were a GM, it would be Mike Milbury part 2
