If you told me We make the playoffs for the next 5 years... Or miss for the next 3... but we get McDavid. Worth it.
He is going to be that good, and as a detroit fan... I have never SEEN a high pick for us... let alone a Gretzky/Crosby type. It would be insane. And I think he would make the NHL 1st year.
But would they start him in the AHL? I wonder how detroit would actually handle someone that good. Like 20-25 games in the AHL before coming to Detroit. I honestly can't even imagine us doing that. Depends how heavy he is. If he needs to put on weight. Ironically it might be safer to let him mature 1 more year, than to break some of his bones... but who knows.
It's nhl, or junior for mcdavid. The problem is that only one team is guaranteed a top 2 pick. Next year will be interesting when the top three picks can go to any non-playoff team.
