@GELemus13 @Paqss_ @brendanlemire @jpolly22 I mean the Habs won’t be able to afford a Demidov extension if they get McDavid because they already only have 9 million in cap space this summer

@O_Jay1105 @Paqss_ @brendanlemire @jpolly22 Also the Habs are basically one of the only teams able to offer as Baku ale package without significantly hurting their lineup and future, which could deter other teams with assets but not enough depth in their roster & pipeline.

IF (and that is IF) Connor McDavid were to get traded before his new contract expires… The Montreal Canadiens make the most sense to me. They’re already contenders and have the assets to make it happen without compromising their current roster too much. They also have one of the best goaltending prospects in the game to send to Edmonton. This team is one more elite centre away from being at the top of the top, and McDavid would fit in like a glove. He could still bring the Cup back to Canada, just in blue, white… and red 🔵⚪️🔴

@GELemus13 @Paqss_ @brendanlemire @jpolly22 I’m not saying it wouldn’t be Montreal, I’m saying the cost would be more than the mock you made so long as there is a bidding war. Because multiple teams can match the offer you made.

@O_Jay1105 @Paqss_ @brendanlemire @jpolly22 But it’s not only about a bidding war. You have to consider fit for the organization too. At the end of the day bowman is the one who’ll pull the trigger, and he’ll only do it if he can get the best fit for his team which at this point seems to be with MTL

@GELemus13 @Paqss_ @brendanlemire @jpolly22 Again if McDavid asks to be traded and names 2 or 3 possible fits (Let’s say SJ, MTL and ANA) that starts a bidding war. A bidding war gives Edmonton leverage. Plus adding another 6 million dollar to Edmontons D corps is dumb when they already have 30.75 million in 4 d-men.

@O_Jay1105 @Paqss_ @brendanlemire @jpolly22 97 & Leon being so outspoken reduces Oilers leverage. 97 only has 2 years left to his contract. Habs are best fit in almost all positions for a trade. Oilers need a veteran D to stabilize their & eat important minutes while producing, Matheson can do that at a cap friendly salary

@GELemus13 @Paqss_ @brendanlemire @jpolly22 If McDavid demands a trade. As long as he names more than one team the Oilers have leverage because it will start a bidding war, not to mention even if he says trade me to Montreal the oilers would not want Matheson what so ever

@Paqss_ @brendanlemire @jpolly22 Two non negligible facts: 1) Oilers Gm is Stan Bowman 2) Oilers don’t have a lot of leverage Here’s my offer: Matheson, Dobes, Engstrom, Kappanen, Hage, and a 1st

@gag_kev @jaydee4777jd @FabulousBS @jpolly22 If he says trade me to Montreal or San Jose that’s all it would take to start a bidding war. As long as he doesn’t demand a trade to a singular team Edmonton does have power.

@jaydee4777jd @FabulousBS @jpolly22 1 year and mcdavid have the choice to the next team, if he move, Oilers didnt has any power on this, sadly, they will take what they can, to have somethings in return, if they ask for too much, they will lose him, for free.

McDavid’s decision to leave will be based on if management doesn’t do what he wants. He’s going full LeGM on the oilers.

Neither Crosby or McDavid are being traded this summer lmao what is with the media

@DomUn1que @theleaders_ww @habsfanaticss A 1st and a decent prospect is a lot different than “a conditional 1st and an okay prospect” besides he’s not leaving so it doesn’t matter

@O_Jay1105 @theleaders_ww @habsfanaticss But they will. If Crosby asks for a trade they’re not telling him no. Also they won’t get jack shit, they get a 1st and a decent prospect.

Sidney Crosby hasn’t won a playoff round since 2018. The core in Pittsburgh is aging and doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere. Malkin is a free agent this summer. Crosby could join his childhood team, the youngest team in the league, and instantly turn the Canadiens into Cup contenders. Should this happen?

@jpolly22 That deal hasn’t started yet Jesse

Connor McDavid signs the team-friendliest deal in the NHL and the Oilers get bounced in the first round. Unbelievable.

@DomUn1que @theleaders_ww @habsfanaticss If he asks to be moved the penguins don’t have to trade him if they’ll get Jack shit

@theleaders_ww @habsfanaticss You’re definitely not giving up that much and wouldn’t have to. If Crosby asked to be moved the Pens would move him, he has a full NMC so he picks where he goes. You get a conditional 1st and an okay prospect at most.

Did Mantha forget he’s a 30 goal scorer?

I feel sick

Textbook delay of game

Are the Oilers back?

Shoutout Buffalo

WHAT THE FUCK

That shot was sexy oh my god

It’s gonna be a Philly PP you heard it here first

@royalthunder91 @brttfdrw @DievianoQ @mmillar87 @PowerPopJeff The point is that it shows that they make calls up. It happened to be right but that’s just dumb luck.

@brttfdrw @DievianoQ @mmillar87 @PowerPopJeff Everyone agrees with that but again it wouldn’t have changed the outcome

Found this on reddit.

@Stevie6777798 Only for you Stevie

@O_Jay1105 You’re nothing but a faggot

People can’t understand that the problem isn’t if it crossed the line or not (it looks like it did)… it’s more of the fact that the ref couldn’t tell and clearly made that shit up in the moment.
