Value of: MacKinnon to Edmonton

[illpucks]

Colorado already tried this. They fleeced the Sens and dumped Duchene. Be sure the Avs would dump MacKinnon if they got Duchene Deal +++. Do the Oilers have enough assets to get this deal done? McDavid has great chemistry with MacKinnon.

So what assets would the Oilers have to give up to make this deal happen?

Draisaitl+

Which really doesn't make any sense.

I just don't see the Oilers having the assets to even get a conversation about MacKinnon started. Of course the Avs would never move him anyways.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

the Oilers could acquire MacKinnon, but they wouldn't be able to do it to have him play with McDavid. An argument can be made that trade value is similar due to MacKinnon's great contract

 

[Kcb12345]

Yeah let's just say Edmonton wouldn't be too happy cause the Avs would want McDavid in return I'm sure

 

[Murzu]

Not for sale. Not sure that even for McDavid considering the cap difference.

 

[Rowlet]

if you aren't looking to deal McDavid, it would probably take Drai and an unprotected 1st plus Nuge or Klefbom

 

[CraigsList]

MacK’s contract literally makes him untouchable.

 

[Freudian]

Because what Oilers need is to deplete their depth even more.

Bozak and a 2nd. Call it done!

 

[SI90]

Why does COL even consider trading Mack?

Not for Colorado.

 

[Newsworthy]

Colorado trading MacKinnon?
One of the best young talents in the world who is signed to a ridiculously team friendly contract.
Hell no.

I mean for the right offer anyone should be available.

Doesnt mean Edmonton has the right offer to make (unless it includes McDavid of course)

 

[Spirit of 67]

I don't see where anything would work.

 

[Channelcat]

The only players with value are those on good contracts. MacKinnon is probably the most valuable asset in the league.

Without delving into why the idea of Mack > McDavid due to contracts is idiotic - one dynamic i'll bring up that rarely gets discussed when comparing the 2 players is this:

1. Put McDavid on any team in the league - Montreal, Arizona, Tampa, Toronto....i'm confident he produces as much as he does now, maybe a bit less/bit more.

2. Put MacKinnon on any team in the league - like Montreal, Arizona or Detroit for example - and i'm not sure how he does. It took him a few years to get going, and his chemistry with Ranta obviously has helped propel him to a new level. I'd have much less faith in Mack's ability to replicate that level of play outside of Colorado than I would McDavid in a similar situation.

Bottom line - as fantastic as MacKinnon has been as a player the past 2 seasons - he's probably not worth overpaying for in a trade as I feel there might be some risk in him replicating his play elsewhere. I don't think there's a similar risk involved if you overpay to trade for McDavid

Simple question. Why would the avs want Duchene over MacK ? Duchene will cost more to sogn then MacK . Plus the Avs already had Duchene and moved on from him .

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I posted we should of traded Draisaitl for MacK a little over a year ago and many Oil were against it. Now with MacK breaking out it’s simply not happening.

He has the best contract in the league. It would take a package like the original Lindros trade now.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

The only thing that would get Mack is McDavid.

I doubt there would be any serious risk. He had great chemistry with RNH. Would be unreal playing behind McDavid. We simply couldn’t afford the cost.

Really?

 

[Stickpucker]

The Avs are the team with tons of futures to offer for a players in their prime, not the Oilers.

 

[stevo61]

I hear a few Oilers prospects in the AHL played on a team that has an 11 game win streak so maybe a couple of them and a 2nd should do the job?

 

[jonlin]

I`d guess a package like this would get it done:

-Draisaitl
-2019 1st
-2020 1st
