You could prob get the whole NYIs organization for McDavid

Biggest question is whether Carter would accept a trade to EDM.

Rumour is he would just retire if traded to another team.

P.S. I think you give up a bit too much in that deal as well.

Few things here, Chiasson plays over Kassian and Archibald.

the value for McDavid is off. You can easily get a better package elsewhere. You could get more picks and more solidified NHL guys with TERM. You didn't go after any term in exchange for a guy locked up next 6 years.

So long as this team has Koskinen in net, I'm willing to bet they do not make the playoffs. Next 3 years. He is NOT playoff caliber goalie.

Three stud players all potential superstars and a first is a big ask so I threw back the 2nds to nyi ...and I'm praying koskinen has a good year ...last yr was pretty much a blitzkrieg rookie season for him . he's 6'7 and should be a beast if the glove improves ...here's hoping

Fair enough I just think you could get more for the best player in the world who happens to be locked up for the next 6 years. I'm just thinking of guys like Huberdeau, S. Jones, Horvat, Gallagher, Reinhart/Ristolainen.

Kind of a funny claim to make categorically. Koskinen had a much better save percentage than Martin Jones did last year and he made the playoffs. Koski also had a winning record on a team with a losing record... his all strengths GSAA was +7.66. I would say he's not the #1 factor inhibiting a playoff date.

It's 7 more years. And I agree that Holland could find a better package, although I really like Barzal.

Yeah Jeff Carter retires before playing in Edmonton, And Holland isn't dealing McDavid for that package.
