Karlsson and McDavid on the ice at the same time would mean that Edmonton would have the puck on one of their sticks for half of every game. As long as the rest of the scrubs on the team played even a little below even, they'd still win more than they'd lose. Especially if they had a guy like Guy Boucher making the bottom 3 lines trap constantly.
It would be the most boring hockey team in the world for half of every game but that may be their best option for the future.
Honestly, they are a disaster, almost no prospects and after McDavid, RNH, Draisaitl, Puljujarvi and Yamamoto they have cement footed plugs. They don't have that much to trade with and are desperate. Not a winning combination.
