McCann is only 25 and on pace for 40 goals currently -- why is SEA trading him?

Not saying they do....this is the player I want my team to acquire. But if you think young good players dont get moved to other teams that better fit their window, not sure what to tell you.

By time Seattle is competing, he will be UFA or close to 30

Of all of the guys Seattle has, McCann isnt the one theyre trading, especially for such a laughable offer

You still have to give an incentive for SEA to trade a guy like McCann -- young, RFA, setting career highs in goals and points most likely this year. The deal you have right now doesn't get it done; some cap dumps and a late 1st doesn't cut it.

not sure what the costs to trade players are...I wouldn't have thought Buchnevich gets traded for a 2nd round pick...or McCaan traded last year just as expansion protection.

I'm not saying this offer gets him traded...I am saying he is a perfect target.

I think Geekie is a better target from Seattle. Right handed centre more suited for a 3C role. If McCann is playing top fiddle in Seattle, I don't think he'll be too happy to come to Edmonton. Unless he prefers the wing. I think he was playing mostly wing in Pitt.
