Imagine there are about at least 10 players on each team that want to be traded. We don't see 300 trades a year. "Demands" mean nothing. A McDavid trade would command at least premier player in return, not this group.
I don't blame McDavid, taking the max contract when offered it to him, for the money and the long term money. Makes you have more respect for Trouba who didn't want to stay in Winnipeg. He stuck with short term deals so he can reach UFA as soon as possible.
