Zero chance the Sens could land McDavid without having to give up Timmy Stu or Pinto and Greig together plus Chabot, a high prospect and 1sts

No timmy or jake ??? try again

McDavid doesn't waive to leave 1 dumpster fire, only to go to another one

not a bad thought, but I dont think you're getting away with Kubalik and Boucher in that offer, maybe one of pinto or jarventie instead of boucher

Such an unbelievably embarrassing offer

We can't make the money work unless we're sending Norris with Chabot, and at that point you aren't giving up Greig and Pinto because you'll end up with a stellar top 6 and a gong show for a bottom 6, which is exactly why EDM is tanking so badly. I could see adding Pinto to the deal and the '24 DET 1st + '24 OTT 2nd + '25 OTT 3rd ... and yeah, I'd throw in the never healthy Boucher too, why not.

Not remotely close and no chance he agrees to a trade to Ottawa

McDavid has 2 years left on his deal. You're damn right no Timmy or Jake! LOL

Kubalik was strictly to balance out the cap exchange and he's an easy piece to move at the deadline for a pick. I could see Pinto being required instead of OR in addition to Boucher. Fair point.

About right I think, jarventie and pinto are huge upgrades on Boucher, maybe throw in one of thomsson or JBD. To be fair its the reset EDM needs (besides moving Campbell)

ITS MCDAVID... He is physically the best player of all time. Youre giving one of those guys. Not even a question. The comments on this post prove that

Nope. That's not even in question. The comments on this post prove that. (Ugh... do I sound annoying or what?)

That's why I wouldn't venture trying to make proposals for top players. A lot of people on CF don't have a good grasp on reality. No player ever brings as much as what they expect. It was the case with Karlsson, Stone, Eichel, DeBrincat and all star players before them.

McDavid is special and the best of the best but his contract situation and what he will cost certainly play a big part.

Norris + Chabot + Pinto + 1st + 2nd + Kubalik is a pretty good offer

The reason I'd be interested this is not even for hockey reasons but marketing reasons.

I'm fine with the team as it is now, but I'd fix the GM and coaching situation before doing anything else, which is in the process : new ownership, no more Dorion, what's next?
