No, I'm arguing that it doesn't make any sense to upgrade from Matthews to McDavid for your #1C if the cost is a max term contract and 4 1st round picks. Sure, they'd have McDavid and Matthews, but they'd be surrounded by no one and wouldn't be a competitive team. Better to just keep Matthews as a cheaper and only slightly worse #1C than destroy your team and cap for a marginal upgrade.
Having Matthews and McDavid is useless if the rest of your lineup is ELC and league minimum guys.
