This is it. I get some love the potential of players on those lists and long term they would be great adds, but why does McDavid care about that? They sell and waste another year of his career, he's gone.
What team sells when they are a threat to win? None would actually throw it away and none would with a player as good as Leon. You can't blame the Oilers for keeping him, just blame them for failing to get it done before he gets the raise and laugh at the situation they will be in once the raise kicks in. It's all the other crap around these 2 that has gone wrong.
I was on the trade Leon bandwagon for years as the best way to fix the Oilers...they waited too long and now they were stuck. No way they trade Leon and improve in less than a year.
