I agree with you in general that it probably would be underwhelming (especially in the eyes of many Oilers fans) but I think it would most likely still be quite a haul.

Absolutely. I think the starting point is to gauge a potential McDavid deal relative to the Matt Duchene trade—arguably the biggest deal of its kind in the capped NHL:
to Ottawa:
· Matt Duchene
to Nashville
· Kyle Turris
to Colorado:
· 2019 1st round pick
· 2019 3rd round pick
· Shane Bowers
· Andrew Hammond
· 2018 2nd round pick
· Samuel Girard
· Vladislav Kamenev
McDavid would garner a higher return than this, but how much?
