<strong>I am going to get a lot of hate mail on this one.
</strong>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Feels like you're undervaluing Dahlin.</div></div> Yep!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>None of these players (dahlin, Hughes, Matthews) are being traded for mcdavid. Teams would be trading for mcdavid for him to play with these other star players. It's going to be a bunch of futures and lower level roster players if he were to be traded. Edmonton would be in a full rebuild mode since there's no way Leon stays after it.</div></div> Yup!<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Czu8iks</b></div><div>Tuch and Dahlin would tough for Sabres to swallow...</div></div> Yup!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AlbertaRockies</b></div><div>Dahlin is your best player so naturally you’d be giving your best player in a deal for the best player.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JesikaMorris</b></div><div>Feels like your <strong>under changing the sabres</strong> and over charging the njd Toronto is just about right but obviously none of these happen</div></div> Surely you jest.
<strong>So you think Jack Eichel, Rasmus Dahlin, and two second round picks are an underpayment for Connor!</strong>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pretzelcoatl</b></div><div>Of course. Nobody is going to argue McDavid isn't the best player in the world. In terms of trade value, however, I would say his contract puts him in third, behind Bedard and Hughes.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Czu8iks</b></div><div>The thing is, this McDavid would be only available to join "superteam", NBA style forcing trade to one and only team. While Sabres can give them plenty of prospects to restart rebuilding, I doubt McDavid himself would like to go from bad situation (assuming Oilers season won't come around) to 'meh' situation.
Same apply to Devils trading Hughes (eitherone) or Hischer.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>I wasn’t sure if 2 1sts was too much for NJ. I think the Leafs trade is about perfect value.</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>I doubt any team would give up their top players in a McD deal, not cause the trade value isnt there but cause it wouldnt make sense situation wise... it would likely be their top prospects/picks instead.
Also, if EDM is selling McD I'd hope we'd go into a full rebuild not a re-tool.
Taking Buffalo's trade for example, rather than Dahlin/Tuch would do something more like:
McD (half retained)
For
Olofsson (cap reasons) - Benson - Quinn - Kulich - D-Prospect (Strbak imo) - 1st ('24) - 1st ('26)
Buffalo may even add more, hard to conceptualize a McD trade.</div></div>
Let's all agree that McDavid is the 21st century Gretzty <strong>without the 4 70 goal seasons on his resume</strong>.
On 1988-Aug-09 Wayne was traded from Edmonton Oilers with Mike Krushelnyski and Marty McSorley to Los Angeles Kings for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, round 1 pick in the 1989 draft (Jason Miller), round 1 pick in the 1991 draft (Martin Rucinsky), round 1 pick in the 1993 draft (Nick Stajduhar) and cash
Edmonton does not have any player near the value of McSorley to add to the trade so let's forget him and Krushelnyski
Jimmy Carson is Buffalo's Jeff Skinner 0.357goals/game v 0.439 goals/game over their careers.
Martin Gelinas is Buffalo's Casey Mittelstadt 0.518 pts/game v 0,508 pts/game over their careers.
Plus three first round picks.
Maybe Buffalo needs to add, but then Edmonton needs to add for McSorley and Krushelnyski

<strong>Sure, my Sabre offer is underwhelming yet reasonably comparable to the Gretzky trade but still, the Sabre offer in this post is off the charts over payment.</strong>

Well that is my tome of the week.
