Hmmm. His last game in the NHL should be at the Dome, April 16.

It feels like we often play the Kings in our last home game?

Great player and sad to see this will be his last year. Clearly the Kings will be big game hunting but the question is if McDavid will want to go to LA as it seems of late that it's not a desired location for some players and will also come down to if he views them as a contender or not. I think their roster is deep enough that he could certainly get them over the hump of beating the Oilers. The timeline doesn't work but I wonder if Andersson would change his mind about the Kings if they had McDavid.

It seems to be in vogue for players to covet low tax regions. LA would not be that.

For a player like McDavid there could be huge marketing opportunities in LA similar to Gretzky.

Not many players get to play their entire career with one team. Add in that he won a couple of cups there and that's a pretty rare feat now. If not for some guy named Crosby he would be the top player from his draft.

If his retirement also end up with letting the Kings lure in McDavid...he becomes legendary.

Not ideal, but would be funny if McDavid ended up in LA too. I wonder if he'll shed a tear saying goodbye... Oilers can suck for another 30 years after, rinse and repeat.
