You trade next year's pick and you're trading your only ever shot at a generational talent like McDavid. Whether he's the next Crosby or Gretzky or the next Spezza or Lindros, it doesn't matter. The only chance we'll have in my lifetime to get a player with that pedigree is by having a pick in the 1st round of the 2015 entry draft. That pick is untouchable in my opinion.
