Description

If McDavid became a free agent RiGHT NOW he would probably be getting somewhere around 15 million, but what if a team payed him 20 (for one year)? Could they still compete for a cup? Here is my best try at this without any lopsided trades that fleece the other team.

Could the twice-defending Stanley Cup champions compete if they added the best player in the game?
