- 25% chance he goes to Vancouver and they might do alright. Their prospect pool is pretty weak and I'm not sure they can generate a good support team for him 5 years from now without the aid of a sudden rebuild.

Neither of the consequences seem absolutely dire...best case scenario, the Flames have McDavid/Gaudreau/Monahan/Bennnet running the team and worst case scenario seems to be fairly middling divisional rivals unless the Canucks go for broke.

Edit -

Probably around 25-30%.

All makes sense
