With McDavid coming in, Eakins would have probably been nominated for the Jack Adams. Regardless of the past, Eakins will be a better fit in Philly than that enforcer-turned-coach Berube.

LOL!
1) Good coaches turn bad teams around. Bad coaches make them worse. They got worse.
2) Getting a generational gimme/freebie player does not win a coach a Jack Adams trophy. In fact it would give every voter a reason to not vote. "Was it the coaching, or was it really McDavid?" And that's assuming they improve markedly next year, which they will not if they use McDavid as a crutch.
3) You can put the Kool-Aid back in the fridge. They dusted the entire group Related to that Eakins fiasco. THAT is what you should be excited about, not McDavid.
4) Lastly, your username suggests that you are a) pulling an obvious troll job, or b) actually from Edmonton. It's impossible to tell. If you went with oylazboiMacdtotheshnizzle, then it would be obvious your an Edmontonian, because like everything up there, you would be using phrases, and pop culture references that are 10 years old.
Welcome to the board!
