Description

what's odd to me is that a lot of the people Ive talked to said this was an overpay by New Jersey, imo it isn't because you are getting freaking McDavid but Im interested to know what you think of this hypothetical and what you would change if you disagree. All of this is under the assumption that McDavid would want out.

This deal is bad for both teams. Regardless of what impact it has on the ice, both team's identities are tied up in their respective 1st overall picks. McDavid and Edmonton are tied at the hip so it takes a massive overpay to pry him away. Same goes with Hughes in NJ. The Devils need to stay the course and win a Cup. I think they're closer than the Oilers to winning one.

Yeah that’s an overpayment can’t see the devils doing that those 3 players should be enough no need to add the firsts

Huge overpay. If this was basketball where one player (LeBron James) can make a difference then sure but this is hockey. Your best player only plays 33% of the game. It’s a true team sport and you’re sending Edmonton 5 first round picks and Jack Hughes is looking like an MVP so far this season. And he’s much younger.
