Proposal: Edmonton - Toronto

[Raymond foley]

Edmonton declines.

Edmonton would be all over that

 

[McSuper]

honestly clicked on it thinking it would be a trade involving mcdavid. i'm even more horrified now

In a cap world a McDavid trade is impossible. Edmonton would want the world And the world would not fit under the cap .

McDavid cost would be 1c + 1D + top 6 winger + top prospect + 2 1st .

I am an Oiler fan and wouldn’t offer up that for MCDavid but if he was being traded Holland would make it known to all teams and ask for a ridiculous return .

We all know that if McDavid gets traded the return is going to be underwhelming. Nobody is going to give up an entire core just for one player no matter how good because you then need to redraft an entire core around him.

This logic goes with any elite superstar being traded, at least in my opinion.

If Connor was available (which he’s clearly not) several teams would offer up a lot to get him.

I don't think anyone in their right mind trades an NHL proven top flight center, defenseman, goalie + picks and blue chips for McDavid.

It completely negates the reason for trading for him to begin with. Maybe that's just me, cause I sure wouldn't.

 

[1FreakZilla3]

ewww leafs pass..

 

[Chayos]

Throw in Kosko to make the money work and I’ll take it and run.

I would figure it out if Tor would consider this. It is a massacre for Edmonton.

C'mon hf boards play like stallone and lock this bad boy upppp!!

I guess it depends on the teams prospect depth and location. LA or NY might pay up as they have excellent prospect depth. Obviously this type move only happens if McDavid wants out.

I guess I can concede that if you trade someone like McDavid you'd probably be looking for mostly futures, but the cost is really not even worth considering unless said player is adamant they want out as it puts the team in a bind.

Are y'all high?

then there's reality....say McD was offered to Carolina, then the ask, as long as it was cap compliant, would be something like Teravainen, one of Slavin/Pesce, there's your close to $10 mil right there, then a prospect and a good one like Suzuki or Geekie and 1st rounder as Carolina would be asked to sacrifice their 1st rounder as part of the deal to get McD, a guy who could lead them to a cup championship on a team as sound offensively and defensively as the Canes ! that would be a more realistic ask in the cap world !

 

[Iapyi]

We all know the Anti-Maple Leaf agenda on this forum but this so ridiculously favours Edmonton that anyone suggesting otherwise isn't even funny.

 

[SnizzNasty88]

This is awful. Not a chance from the Leafs. Larsson is garbage, Neal is washed up and a 1st doesn’t mean much to us. Can’t pass on this enough.

A Team like CBJ may . A goalie , Jones , PLD ++ . Rumours were the Jackets want to move a goalie and the are deep on D . TheY upgrade big time on PLD . The question would be the pluses

 

[T_Cage]

Just Wow...

Toronto gets ROBBED in this...and yet despite that, this trade still doesn’t make sense for Edmonton

you have to be some sort of sorcerer to create that kind of perfect storm

 

[Notsince67]

Edmonton, obviously.

The Leafs overpaid garbage players for those kind of quality assets?? We're talking about The Real Deal -- retained, even!!

OP must be a Leafs fan.

Are you smoking crack?

 

[Notsince67]

Larson might be a viable replacement for Holl...

....uhhh...nevermind

You could probably add about 15MM in cash to that

 

[Jumptheshark]

Edmonton

Nylander
Andersen
Dermott

Toronto

Neal @ 3.75 mil
Larsson
1st

Who says no?

Where are the oilers getting money in this trade? And i suspect leafs go no

 

[McJedi]

Edmonton declines.

Toronto needs to add Matthews and 2 firsts to this.

I still think CBJ is a worse team for making that trade.

 

[slimbob8]

Fans on here always seem to forget that after you make a trade there's no rule that says you can't make a subsequent trade to fill other holes, free up cap space, etc.

Yes this trade doesn't work for Edmonton from a cap perspective, but obviously if this were ever offered that would be a non factor. The value of the assets coming from Toronto are much, much higher than the ones coming from Edmonton so no sane GM would turn that down. They can turn around the next day and trade somebody else and still come out way ahead in this.

Both Larsson and Neal are hot garbage. Larsson is not even an NHL D man at this point.


Nylander is worth way more on his own!
