What if Marc Bergevin wasn’t greedy and asked too much for PK Subban?

To Edmonton: PK Subban
To Montreal: Leon Draisatl 4th overall pick

it was reappeared Bergevin asked for Oscar Klefbom or Darnell Nurse to be included.

what if he traded Subban for Draisatl and the 4th overall pick?

would we have use that pick to select Matthew Tkachuk? Or package the 4th overall pick and another asset to move up one sport to secure Pierre Luc Dubois?

Leon Draisatl
Pierre Luc Dubois
Mihkail Sergachev

guys that would have been a lot different game changing draft deals.

but instead we have a play it safe GM and 3-4 liners bargainBin specials.

I think Draisaitl is absolutely fantastic and deserved to sweep the awards last year. I could see him win more in the future again.

But I get the sense he wouldn't have developed into the player that he is without having the chance to play with McDavid. He'd still be pretty good i'm sure, but he'd be nowhere top ~2-5 player in the league good.

Besides - so long as we're doing what ifs, may as well find a scenario where we land McDavid instead...

What if ... we stopped torturing ourselves with threads about what could have been? What if ... there were an actual news article attached to this thread, as the thread tag suggests? :sarcasm:

If coulds and buts were beer and nuts, we’d have ourselves one hell of a party.

A real GREAT party if we also include the “almosts”.

What if we traded Price the year we should have ? What kind of player would we have got for him.

How much better the team would be ?

What if we ran this team like any other pro sports team and picked the best people available to run it instead of language first?What if we actually did this maybe we would have won another cup by now instead of 28 years and counting.What if our clueless owner would figure this out by now?

* One hell of a masked, socially distanced, staggered line 12 feet or more apart (to be extra safe), to take place outside before curfew, featuring a nurse who takes temps and performs COVID tests, where we’d hold a raffle for an N-95 mask to wear on top of the one we’re already wearing.

Second prize would be a set of steak knives sterilized and shrink wrapped in a COVID-repellant material. Street party to end before curfew, obviously.

I think that should about take care of it. :sarcasm:
