Edmonton wants to keep McDavid, you trade Leon for Byfield and Clarke, that's a great trade IMO but that's not making them better next year. Huge risk it doesn't make them better for the next 2 years. McDavid is less likely to stay, you blew your chance at a cup.
If you trade Leon, you might as well trade both. If you have McDavid, why would you even entertain trading him if he is willing to stay??
The Oilers mess is not due to these guys, it's more due to millions of wasted cap on players not even on the team. I get that issue isn't going away, but they could rebuild and never replace McDavid.

Why he signed in Edmonton FFS...an 8 year deal at 14M was obviously hard to pass up and impossible to beat. Hanifin didn't really want to go to Vegas over Tampa but the 8 year deal trumps all.
