Not another McDavid thread

[Feadur]

I got him last year, hoping that the team would be in last

I paid Ryan Strome and the 18th overall
I got Cody Ceci and the 1st overall

Looks like everyone took punts on picks but seems no one is paying the asking price for that no 1 pick now

The problem is that everyone that has(or soon will have) McDavid seems to be treating him like the 2nd coming of Gretzky. He is no doubt good but the hype around him is beyond anything I've ever witnessed.

Wasn't it the same with Mak last summer after his rookie season? Think this could be similar in that teams may pay it once they've seen it.... Might be worth hanging on to see him achieve that value

Best offer I've heard of but not heard of it being accepted was -

Giroux, Hall, Shatenkirk, Backstrom, Ryan Murray

for

Mcdavid, Kesler, Wisniewski, Foligno, Hillier, Ryan and Zuccarello

Not sure I get who turned it down and who offered, but man I'd go so far as to say even if McDavid turns into Sidney McGretzky, losing Hall, Backstrom, AND Giroux plus Shattenkirk is too much.

Well I finally found one - granted a salary cap league but as you can imagine the team with McDavid had a lot of cap space and the ability to clear more so -

Nordiques acquire:


Pekka Rinne
Jonathan Bernier
Craig Anderson
Jakub Voracek
Dougie Hamilton
John Klingberg
Anders Lee
Tomas Hertl
10th and 22nd overall picks


Kings acquire:


1st overall pick
Samuel Morin
