hypothetically I'm ok with it but another variable to consider - McCann has said he will not go back to Toronto because of how they handled the expansion draft with him. Highly dependent on Marner signing an extension. Can't see a team doing that for one year unless it's a playoff run at the TDL.

Damn I didn't know that but honestly I don't blame McCann we screwed that up big time.

at least you understood the pick going the other way in the PIT trade. But PIT still declines. They don't need that mess taking up their cap space.
