Why would we fight when you just helped Edmonton reset? Assuming McD is out the door, so is Drai and therefore Edmonton's next first overall pick is due.

I'd do that deal if I was Edmonton's GM. Next would be Draisaitl for a similar haul that includes young d-men and then see if I can dump Nurse on someone and buyout Campbell.

I was told yesterday it would take Tage Thompson AND dahlin or Power.

So this is progress

I’d possibly to power or tage involved in deal but wouldn’t include dahlin. Even then it’d be one of not both.

It's clear that Edmonton isn't winning the cup with this group, whereas Buffalo has a very bright future with Dahlin and Power anchoring that defense for the next decade. This is a rebuild trade for Edmonton, and they can do it quickly using McDavid and Draisaitl as trade chips. Massive overhaul can give them a pretty good shot at winning the cup in 5-6 years.

But....he was already introduced to the Edmonton media as part of the team. The Oilers will give Buffalo Jack Campbell to even out the trade.

Sure he is. Righting history. 8 year 16 million extension will be signed the day ryan Reaves contract ends.

McDavid will likely say yes to maybe 3 teams. TO, the Rangers or LA. Nowhere else.

Is there any chance we could get Ryan Johnson? I like him, good defence man. Would be a good guy to put on the defence! I’m one of those oiler fans that do think we should go into a rebuild. Regardless, I like this trade, and would accept no matter what. Good job man!

It would be hard for me to move him seeing as he casually walked in and became a top pair guy in 1 game, lol

Fair, fair. That’s one of the reasons why I want him! He’s so good, and has been underrated for years.

Gross. D-men are much, much harder to find. We've got plenty of goal scorers. Sorry, but no need for McDavid. BUF is good just as they are. BUF already sold the farm for McEichel once and got burned.

Why on earth would any BUF fan want to do it again?

If you're in BUF, you had plenty of opportunity to watch McD play in Erie.

If I’m EDM I would insist a top pairing dman is a requirement preferably one that can be a #1 work horse
