Any team in the league could make a deal for McDavid work and we would be fooling ourselves if we think otherwise.
Edmonton is far more screwed because of the Lucic, Russell, Sekera, Talbot, Draisaitl contracts more than McDavid.
This would never happen but the Flames could send a package around Monahan/Hanifin/Jankowski and make the money work. Gaudreau/Backlund/Kylington something like that works as well. Obviously he would NEVER be traded to Calgary.
Basically a team would need to send 2 of their solid $6M contracts and picks/prospects to make it work but 30 teams would try and get McDavid if he was getting shopped and any team would likely take the full $12.5M cap hit no problem
