Exactly. Send him to a team that never has nationally broadcast games in the States during the regular season. Send him to a place where he won’t be able to escape having to talk about McDavid. Get him out of the States and their media and have him deal with the rabid market here where he is fully expected to be the final piece of the puzzle to being a legitimate contender.
Ultimately he wants out of there so badly that I think he would now be happy to come here and look at the bright side of getting the surgery he wants and come play for a team that has some of his buddies and is looking to compete. End of the day I am sure he would prefer Vegas or Southern California but they should send him here for spite
