Could this even happen by trade deadline? Unlikely, but it would buy time to rebuild fan confidence in the off-season.

When does McDavid get a no-trade clause? I believe he is close to it, and it would make sense that he closes his mouth until then to be sure to get some say in where he goes.
I suspect he'd like to go to a big market to get endorsement deals. His second choice might be a market that he doesn't have so much pressure. I can't imagine he'll want to go to a small market with immense pressure again.
