Ahhh good to see we’ve circled back to the Edmonton should have traded him for a haul including a top D argument but no one can give an example of even a possible trade that actually would make sense !

I actually took the time to look and the only thing I could come up with was something around Dahlin for Leon as the primary pieces but I don’t think Leon resigns in Buffalo and I don’t think it makes the Oilers better / gives them a better chance at the cup

Mcdavid isn’t staying if you trade Leon for 3 average pieces.

Even if we assume the MT framework we see how well that worked for Calgary vs the team acquiring the star .

A late 1st, 2nd pairing D and flawed (perceived) star for a true superstar doesn’t help Edmonton in the next few year which is all they care about

As Pepsi pointed out - all their options really sucked but signing him really makes the most sense from a risk management standpoint - and then cross your fingers home and McDavid can drag you to a cup

They will always have a punchers chance with those 2 in the playoffs
