Kane despite how good he is is a winger. I think if you’re going to put that much money towards two players they need to be centers. Pittsburgh did that and it looks like both Edmonton and Toronto will be following that model. Toronto has certainly done a lot better job of building a team around their centers, but McDavid is a superior talent to Matthews.
As for the lol, well I think having the best player in the league would be worth quite a lot. I’m sure if that trade was proposed it would be Edmonton that walks away. I understand the hate of Edmonton being that this is a Calgary board and like you I’m happy that they have a poor GM who doesn’t seem to be able to build a consistent winner with the huge luck that’s dropped in their lap (how many number one picks did they get?) but it doesn’t take away from the fact that McDavid is a fantastic talent and will likely be the face of the game for years to come.
