RNH is DEFS not worth that much

Edmonton giving up way too much for that return.

But then again you think Elliott,Simmonds,Morin was good for Nugent-Hopkins,Talbot

I mean Elliott still is a way better goalie than Talbot and much better contract than what Edm had. Simmonds is gonna have a good rebound season, and could have played a wing role with McDavid like Maroon did but I think Simmonds is more talented than Maroon. They basically are trying to replace Maroon’s production with Neal. All three of those wingers play a similar style of hockey, I think the most talented is Simmer, than Neal, than Marion. Morin is a project but could be a solid D man this upcoming season. A lot of it was also considering the cap situation.

The reason I don’t think this deal works is cause Krieder walks and you gave up your two best assets, that could help you move a bad contract, and rebuild/ reboot your franchise. When Kreider walks McDavid will want a trade because he’s already said if the management doesn’t do something he will. Personally if I’m Kreisler I want to try and stay with NYR now. He has a decent role on a team with a lot of really good pieces that just might be able to contend these next few seasons.

When has McDavid said he'll want a trade if management doesn't do something?

I'm pretty sure I heard him say in an interview that he wants to be part of fixing the mess in Edmonton and guys that aren't committed can hit the road.

I think you have to get an extension in place for Kreider, if not namestinkov and if not then the third becomes a first if Kreider walks or soemthing
