Obviously I am not going to reveal my source in this but of any source I have ever had in hockey this one is the most solid easily for this. I will counter Bob Stauffer and FS by saying he is leaving, 100%. If I am wrong everybody can have their pile on and rightfully so.

This actually makes sense. After next year, Edmonton's chances of winning undoubtedly decrease. Even McDavid isn't quite the player he was. He needs help to win the Cup. Now Toronto may not be the answer, but who knows?
And McDavid may keep it to himself, as he'd rather join the Leafs as a UFA then trigger a trade and have the Leafs give up valuable assets.
