LA say yes, everyone else says no

so colorado trades arguably the two best players this year for mcdavid?

Obviously these trades would never happen. I’m just wondering why you have the Kings sending **** players (besides doughty) back.

LA Trade = Gretzky Pt.2

Yeah that was my exact though looking at this. No way in hell colorado makes that trade. Maybe Vancouver would, I don't know though.
Honestly I think McDavid will get to a point where he stops trying on the ice because the rest of his team mates suck. Let them get a few 1st round picks and hope for a better future.

Hey guys. Let’s trade our entire core for one superstar and become the oilers 2.0

Dear god that Avs trade is horrendous

Ok here's the thing, mcdavid can produce at an amazing clip with an absolute garbage team and garbage wingers. But here's the thing, your trading him for talent that would improve the oilers overall roster. But it would turn any team that gets mcdavid into the oilers 2.0 which means a **** team.

Than avalanche trade takes away the avs 1st line center and winger as well as their 2nd line center and a 2019 1st. So basically MacKinnon is producing at the same clip as mcdavid but that's not enough ur taking rantanen and 2 more pieces. This makes no sense to me. The Avs actually get much worse cuz they'll miss a 1st rw and 2nd line center.

The canucks would never do that trade. Pettersson is putting up better rookie numbers than mcdavid. Plus Boeser is an elite winger and you're not taking Horvat. He's a first line center that's putting up great numbers with bottom 6 players. Canucks actually become worse in this trade too.

No trade is fair, why would u want that package coming back from LA. Mcdavid means more to u then getting a garbage Kovalchuk, average player in toffoli. Doughty isn't worth it. Just go out in free agency and sign some good defenceman. If u trade mcdavid say good bye to ur center depth

Vancouver absolutely says no

I don't know on that part. Pettersson and Boeser are obviously good players. I think McDavid is the 2nd or 3rd best player in the league. Eventually he will slow down and that will drop even more. His face off stats also suck, but at the moment the argument could be made that McDavid effects a game more than both of them combined. It's costly no doubt. It just depends if you want to give your team one of the hardest players in the league to stop at the moment. For what he does comparatively when he's on the ice to the cap hit, it might be more bang for the buck.
I mean hell he's almost single handed carrying Edmonton to a wild card spot right now while Vancouver has 3 more games and 1 less point.

I think pettersson is 70-80% of what mcdavid is now, and horvat + Boeser is worth a lot more than 30% of mcdavid, then adding more on top of that is just ridiculous

That 70-80% is a large jump in the NHL because it's all top end. And You start looking at it via cap hit. I know they are on low contracts now, but that isn't always going to last. How much will that total cap hit be?
Like I said, I don't know if they would take that, but they would have to think that over long and hard. McDavid can almost get you to the playoffs by himself. Putting anything around him and you got a chance at the cup.

The colorado deal is an easy no. MacKinnonv is almost just as dangerous and has shown he can carry a team. One could look at the TB package and give an easy no too with Kucherov and a lot of good pieces. But Van isn't giving up anything that close to McDavid level of a player. Not yet at least. None of them can carry a team to the playoffs by themselves and frankly they might not even be able to do it together.

What I said is that he is 70-80% now, he is a rookie, in two years when he is mcdavids age he will be able to carry a team and so he should be considered similar value to mackinnion then boeser + Horvat has to be around rantanen value (not saying I’d trade rantenen for them just approximating) so it’s an easy no as far as I’m concerned, and as for caphit.... are you joking? “These guys will cost more cause they are worth more so therefore trade them for less cause it costs less” is that ur philosophy??

Mac and Rant >> Mcdavid. Peterson and Boesser > Mcdavid. Kucherov and McDonagh > Mcdavid. Only LA says yes

Colorado&Tampa are the best scenarios.

dude please, don't tell me about in 2 years when yadda yadda. You ain't got no crystal ball. We are looking at it right now. In two years McDavid is gonna be better than he is now etc etc.. no one knows any of that. You got to look at what you got now and compare. Honestly, McDavid as a rookie was more explosive then they are. He's the fastest player on the ice since he came into the league. That ain't changed. No one is saying the Van players aren't good. The point is a young McDavid is that much better. If these players were as good as he is, van would be sitting in a playoff spot that McDavid put the oilers in practically by himself. And can't no one argue that.

We are talking about trade value and if Vancouver would say no, hence the future very much matters, otherwise u could say marner last year at 69 pts, was worth less than radulov who had 72, and while ur at it throw in nylander, kadri and Liljegren, I’m a leaf fan so I’m putting it in those terms to see how ridiculous ur logic is

no it's not. You assume they will be of the value of McDavid. There is no evidence of any of that. Hell McDavid is still growing as a player. I'm sorry to break this to you but they aren't McDavid.

Im not saying its exactly the same, just an extreme example of your logic but to use toronto terms again this trade is basically Matthews, Marner, Kadri and Liljegren for mcdavid, which is laughable just like this proposal

Man so many people forget that this is time judge value NOT what's best for a team. San Jose could make a package trading Logan couture to Toronto for Morgan Reilly sure the value might be close (if you disagree shut up you get my point) both teams get worse because of this trade. So those of you saying the Colorado trade is terrible your wrong the value is fair doesnt mean it's a good idea to do it same with van. The LA trade is terrible for Edmonton unless you can somehow make kovulchuk 10 years younger. The 5 star is cause of the dummies.

no it's not. It's not even close to that. Production in hand does not even come close to showing that at any point. No one is knocking they aren't talented. But you are assuming a lot here. Players have one good year and disappear. Go ask CBJ about Wereinski. (spelling?) The point is they are trading a known quantity a top 3 player in the league in what is going to be his prime years. You are assuming either one of these players will reach that level. Combined right now, they haven't even managed to make VAN competative. The toronto crew instantly turned the Leafs around. Mean while, McDavid is carrying Edmonton on his back into the playoffs with almost no help. There are some quantitative differences here.
