Good day AGMers
Direct any critique of the trade to this comment! ✔
1. Trade value acts exponentially to many extents: it serves up sharply at the top and teams pay extra to acquire the elite generally, gotta pay a premium bro
2. The precedent is naturally the Gretzky trade:
to Los Angeles by Edmonton with Mike Krushelnyski and Marty McSorley for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, Los Angeles' 1st round choices in 1989 (later traded to New Jersey - New Jersey selected Jason Miller), 1991 (Martin Rucinsky) and 1993 (Nick Stajduhar) Entry Drafts and cash.
This is vaguely that but more because McDavid it a bit younger and closer to apex, though different in many ways, there's lots of nuances here, lots to assess, idk
3. The Trouba contract should be seen as a negative to many extents, he's not that good or young either, it's huge $ and term, part of the value is to offset that
Keep it constructive
