Hypothetical question- McDavid

[JohnnySkittles]

Take a chance, no way you can afford to give up a 50/50 chance on a guy like McDavid. Future superstar.

[Miniac]

I'll take the 50%.

[MattP]

What about 30?

[Enoch Root]

I'll take the mystery box, it could be anything - even McDavid!

[Jason14h]

Who really cares in Vancouver or Edmonton gets him. It's as dumb as people who thought we should take a worst pick then trade Sven to Van.

[stemit14]

Definitely 0%. The flames are more set for the future than either the oilers or Canucks. Therefore, no need to risk giving vancouvrr or Edmonton a shot at catching up by getting a franchise center.

If you do take the 50% shot at what percentage would you say it's not worth it?

Seriously, though, why ask this question without giving your own answer?

[dino7c]

well the Oilers are gonna have the 2nd best chance to get him as it is so why not take the chance?

[powderjunkie]

50. Oilers would still be inept, the Canucks might get good enough to make the finals again and riot.

Or it could even be a boat!

And FTR, I say bring on the 50%! Who cares about Edmonton. They already have like 15-20% odds already. And who cares about Vancouver? Nobody I say!

Hell I'd happily take the 1/3 odds provided we don't sacrifice our current position.

I did give my answer, but thanks for coming out

[ForeverFlameFan]

I'd take the 50%. One player isn't going to make the Oilers contenders, they'll just be adding McDavid to their ruined prospects cupboard in a few years.

As for Vancouver, perhaps McDavid would make a bigger impact over there, but they don't have the depth like the Flames do.

I'll take a stab at McDavid, because we'd have the better chance of winning him.

[saillias]

0!

Anyone who plays video games knows you don't hit the "attack" button if your hit chance is lower than about 85%... it's a guaranteed waste of a turn.

[polak]

Pshh Edmonton will screw him up anyways.

[CSharp]

I'd take a 50% chance at McDavid and the other 50% on Eichel. That'll be 100% guaranteed to have one of those franchise players.
