After giving 11 years to a franchise you were never thrilled to be with in the first place you now have a chance to chase your dream? What do you do? The only fly in the ointment is you were hoping to win one championship with a teammate who became a best friend. After coming close twice you can still take one more kick at the can there but after that the outlook for your current team is bleak as they have enptied the cupboards to try and win how. What do you do?

You have taken a lot of heat on this point, undeservedly. If McDavid himself told me that there is no way he's signing an extension, he's going to free agency, and signing in Toronto then I would still be cautious because he could change his mind, a year is a long time away, etc. to the point that I'd like be cautious about how I posted that info on here. You, nope, no fear. I admire that and you sticking to your guns. If he enters the season saying that he will talk contract at then end of the year, then I'm totally here for the meltdown in Edmonton.
