Description
Gretzky gets sold to the LA Kings, what would it look like if McDavid got sold today? Using the same outline as the Gretzky trade, let’s say now that Wirtz has passed on and new ownership takes over CHI, they try and bring on McDavid to pair with Bedard in the future

No question this team gets worse, but fun hypothetical. With Jeff Jackson at the helm McDavid will be an Oiler forever sorry Leafs fans

It’s tough to make this analogy ow because teams don’t trade for cash.

35 years ago! How time flies. Still the worst day of my life outside of family/friend deaths.

Chicago doesn’t have the team to win now with McDavid. If he can’t win with the Oilers he certainly isn’t winning with what the Blackhawks have to offer right now. This could blow up in the Blackhawks face terribly if he ended up not resigning. I’m hoping he tests free agency when his contract expires. Blackhawks should be better by then and maybe playing with Bedard can incentivize him to come to Chicago.

Can we interest you in Gavin Hayes instead of Reichel?

I still can't believe that trade happened. The rumors were there but still... trade Wayne Gretzky? Oilers had just won their 4th Cup in 5 years. 🤔
