1st off the Oilers won't trade McDavid and if anything he will walk as a UFA like Tavares if the oilers continue their lack of success.

In a case where the oilers HAVE to trade McDavid let's say he publicly says he's sick of the mismanagement of the oilers and wants a fresh start. Then signs a contract with CSKA Moscow of the KHL. So the oilers have zero choice but to trade him. ( he wouldn't do that but just for discussion sake )

The acquiring team doesn't have to pay "fair " value they just have to pay more then anyone else.

Here are some ideas.

Colorado- Cale Makar, Jonas Donksoi, Alex Newhook and Bowen Byram

Edmonton- Connor McDavid and Ethan Bear

New York- Alexis Lafranier, Nils Lundqvist ( Top prospect ), Kappo Kakko, Ryan Strome, Alex Georgiev, and 1st 2022

Edmonton- McDavid + Prospects

Ottawa- Tkachuk, Sturtzel, Sanderson and 1st 2021

Deals like these is what Itd take imo.

All except the NY one
Laf is good, Lundqvist is alright (I certainly wouldn’t call him the top prospect), but Kappo Krappo, Strome, Georgiev don’t hold much value in my mind.

26 May 2021 17:55:24
Kappo Kakko was drafted 2nd overall 2 years ago. Obviously he holds a ton of value and Lundqvist looks like a Rossi/ Perffeti tier prospect.

Good post Nylander. I like it a lot.

Any team that would trade for McD would have to give up so many players/ prospects/ draft picks that he would be worse off on his new team then he is on the Oilers now. I don't believe McD would be happy leaving the Oilers to be on a team that could be years away from winning.

26 May 2021 19:33:13
Patrick was drafted 2nd overall as well. Kakko is just as bad.

For comparison sake;
Byram and Laf r pretty close. At most Donskoi + Byram = laf
Lundqist and Newhook are prolly pretty close. I’d take Newhook tho.
Kakko, Strome, Georgiev + 1st does not get you Makar tho.

Same for Sens
Stutz and Laf r close. Lundqist and Kakko is Sanderson. Strome + 2022 pick is prolly equal to sens 2021.
Tkachuk does not equal Georgiev.

27 May 2021 00:55:09
@Islandjet Agreed, that's why he'll almost certainly be an oiler until he becomes a free agent or the year before that.

27 May 2021 02:26:52
Lmao Byram and donksoi don’t equal Laf.

27 May 2021 07:19:54
Nylander is right, how does Byram and donskoi equal Lafreniere lmao. Imo he’s going to be a late bloomer like MacKinnon.

27 May 2021 10:42:13
The values are still off. Makar and Tkachuk will both be top 25 players. If Buffalo was offered either of them in a one for one for Eichel guarantee they take it.

27 May 2021 20:26:48
They’d definitely take Makar but they wouldn’t take a winger for Eichel. Tkachuk isn’t on Eichel level. Eichel is already a top 25 player in the game.

27 May 2021 22:34:11
Buffalo and Eichel are probably stuck with each other until his contract runs out. He isn't worth $10 mil per year and only a fool would trade anything near what Buffalo is asking for him.

I hate to say it, but Treliving just might be dumb enough to do it. Hopefully he gets fired because he can screw up that badly. Or maybe Jarmo, he was dumb enough to trade Dubious away for Laine, maybe he'll do something equally stupid and trade Seth Jones for Eichel.

Laine for Eichel on the other hand would make sense. One overrated overpaid player for another. Eichel makes $3.25 more right now but Laine is an RFA looking for a big raise. Jarmo won't do that though.

28 May 2021 20:39:27
So why is Ottawa the only team here getting shafted?

Because you low ball sens value massively.

4 Lottery picks basically is what you are saying the sens would need as opposed to 2 Lottery picks and 2 meh late 1sts at best. In what world is that equal value?

On top of that you litterally have bear going with McDavid in Colorado deal, while New York gets prospects back with McDavid. Then there's Ottawa who is LITTERALLY giving up the MOST of the other 3 teams while getting back the LEAST of the 3 as i'm assuming that one is McDavid ALONE?

You never had any credit before Nylander but this further proves me right in that regard. Get real dude
