The scary thing is, that doesn't even hurt the Sabres future and they get the best player in the world... and Canes take that

Value isn't a problem, but EDM would almost certainly demand a return with a different structure.

So, you’re saying 2 years of Connor McDavid is worth a near Vezina caliber goaltender, a first and a second line Center, both signed long-term, a top 12 first round pick, and a young forward who was drafted only a year ago and is already contributing in the NHL. Oh, and a young defenseman former first round pick who looks to be top four potential. He may be the best player in the world, but since he can’t win by himself it doesn’t make your team better giving up huge amounts of assets to get that player. Not unless the trade also happens to come with some magical spell that convinces him to sign long term for way less money than he’s currently making, so you have a prayer of a chance of building a team around him.

Why does he have to resign for way less? The cap will keep going up and Ceci/Greenway money will be gone - can bury Campbell if needed, trade Sammy, buyout skinner. There's lots of money

Pegula wants jersey sales

Canes take that ...that might be the only realistic thing here though lol

Buyouts cost money on the cap. It’s not a get out of jail free card. The salary cap can keep going up, but so will player salary demands. If the salary cap becomes $110 million, the best player in the world will demand $20 million a year. You can’t build a Stanley Cup winning team when one player accounts for 15% of your entire salary cap, no matter how good that one guy is. Otherwise, Edmonton would have won by now.

Jfc…. PLEASE just walk away from this site & do this nonsense on your Xbox
You look ridiculous with all your nonsense

Don’t waste your time trying to be sensible or realistic
He doesn’t understand the meaning of the words

Antianalytics is also antifun... come one.. like it's that big a deal I make these posts. This site is mostly for fun - we aren't doing this to pad our resume to be a real GM. We can all post on here for different reasons - is it realistic? No - but you asked for it as a joke. So I posted it for a joke. Is the value maybe there - idk, it could be; and that's what makes it fun for me. You think I look ridiculous; I think you look like a ****ing asshole

Ok, my bad…. You’re right…. This trade could TOTALLY happen
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Besides not knowing what the word “realistic” means,
the definition of “fun” seems to have escaped you as well
