Just thinking back to how big of a disaster the Bruins 2015 first round draft was. Seeing as McDavid was viewed as a generational talent back in 2015, why didn't the Bruins go all in and try trading their three first rounders for him? Not sure if they ever thought of it or if they were confident that their three picks would outweigh the impact that McDavid would have. As we look back, the Bruins really only hit on DeBrusk and in that case, they could have done much better with other picks. I mean, could you imagine a lineup with Bergeron, Krejci, and McDavid as the top centers for the Bruins. That would have been nuts.

I wouldn't be surprised if the idea came to mind but there was absolutely no way Edmonton would have run with that over McDavid anyway

The Hurricanes rejected the offer for the 5th overall pick.
