Huge 3 way deal
Matthews and McDavid are in Arizona training together. No Instagram, Twitter or Facebook or any social media coming out from either player. No photos or media able to get anything from these 2. Peter Budja is only source as he is at rinkside being the netminder but even his comments are about skill of the 2 only. Matthews is a huge nba fan and loves the fact nba can create super teams. Is this tight sealed training session the start of something here.

Toronto gets McDavid and his 12.5 price tag. Leafs take on some of neals cap hit and get rid of 22.5 worth of cap leaving roughly 7 million in cap space to fill 1 forward and 1 D spot on roster. Very duable
They lose 2 1st round picks also

Edmonton gets marner to replace the playmaking for draisaitl to have. They get a top 20 D man to offset klebolm injury and gain a possible #1 goalie on a cheaper contract. They gain 4.5 million in cap space and 3 1st rounders in next 2 years

Nashville gains nylanders offence plus Larson's defence on an already great defensive team and get Neal back at half the price he left for. They get a guy to learn for a year from rinne hopefully to improve but do lose a 1st and young Dman to get all this. They have the space to afford 13 million in cap space and Neal never sold his Nashville home as he kept it because he loves the town.

Is the tight lipped training session just that or are we going to witness something special very soon

This is a Gretzky type deal but needs a cap liable team to enter as 3rd party.

Doubt McDavid gets traded if Edmonton has some bad years like buffalo Mby McDavid will want our.

Only way you get McDavid is with Matthews going the other way.

This is an epic 3 way deal. As good as Mcdavid is I have to believe both NSH and EDM are tempted.

I hate losing Reilly but man does this work out well. My favorite part is the retention going 2 different ways. It's the best way to convince someone.

Now that is creative.
I really don't want to watch those shifts after the first two lines come off the ice and our 2nd and 3rd pairs are out there with our 3rd and 4th lines. lol.

Whole point of this email was the fact mcdavid and Matthews are real tight lipped and BFFs apparently.

They want to play together so together they need to find a creative solution that doesn’t involve Matthews as the return. If you read everything you’d realize that’s the only reason I posted this.

Gretzky got dealt for the better good of hockey

If we go this route
Mcdavid, Matthews and Andersen to Arizona
Keller schmaltz OEL hayton to Edmonton
Dvorak garland chycrun soderstrom kuemper

Imagine Kessel flanked by Matthews and mcdavid

Or to get both on Edmonton
Matthews to edm
RNH, kassian, bear, McLeod Bouchard

Imagine puljujarvi with mcdavid and Matthews
Or yeah draisaitl with the 2 lol

There 3 deals
1 to get both on Toronto
1 to get both on Edmonton
1 to sell and grow hockey in Arizona

So now I’m not bias and I get both together the whole point of this

Which one of 3 do you like best.

This is crazy. Lol. I love it.

My first thought was: who is going to be captain? It would be very difficult to bring McDavid in as 1C and expect him to wear the “A”. Undermining Tavares’ authority even more in the locker room, we would see a divisive situation not unlike when SJ ended up stripping Thornton of his “C”.

Leafs trade a Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati for a Bugatti Voiture Noire. After this they would have the fastest most expensive car in the world, but they would have to lose all the other pretty toys to do it.

The Leafs would have even more cap tied up in their three highest paid players. The only relief comes in dumping Nylander really.

Edmonton looks to be the clear winners. They win the cup and remain contenders for a long time with all those good young players and futures. They improve massively in the back end and still have a 90+ point player coming back in return to set up the league’s current 50 goal scorer Art Ross and Hart winner. Heck. Marner might even get over 100 points with Draisaitl beside him.

But, we get McDavid. His contract is longer than Nylanders and Marner’s, so that buys us a couple more years of contention. And if you buy into the whole hockey is a strong-link game theory, then an argument can be made that having McDavid on the team would pay higher dividends than the other guys.

And maybe it would if it was just the forwards. But Rielly is too big of a loss in the back end. Muzzin/ Brodie, both on the wrong side of 30, do not seem to me a cup winning top line pair. I have faith in the bottom four doing their job competently enough. But the top pair is more important by far. And I just don’t think Muzzin and Brodie are the right combination to be running it.

I have to give credit it’s a doozy of a trade! I may have to throw my version out there and give it a try.
I agree with LL it’s definitely a doable deal but you have to bring Crazy eyes Kassian along some how. Lol! Cheers nice fantasy trade.

McD will only be traded if he wants out of Edmonton then there will be several teams lining up to make the best offer they can to get him.

How do you know he doesn't want out? You don't. You aren't in his private conversations. One more piss poor year and he may ask.

If you think edm gets a better return than that your insane. They don't. As good as Mcdavid is that's about the upper echelon of trades. Top 10 defenceman, 90 point winger, Saros, Gabbro and THREE firsts. You think someone would offer 15 1sts? Maybe 20? Maybe package up their entire roster+AHL team?

It's the most fair trade for Mcdavid they will ever get. Probably closer to an overpay than an underpay.

So how many points does a Tavares, Mcdavid, Mathews line get? Lol. 200 for Mcdavid+80 goals for Mathews?

Islandjet learn how to read

This has nothing to do with if either wants out of their respective teams. It’s about how they want to be together and start a super team like the nba can.

If they can’t be together due to cap then it’s time to influence change in the CBA.

It’s the non anything social media that is happening while the 2 train together that has a few higher up media employees getting their hanpster wheels going. I’m just adding to that wheel

This trade had nothing to do with any disapproval of either players organization.

It’s simple

McDavid and Matthews want to be on same team. Let’s come up with ways to make it happen whether in Toronto Edmonton or anywhere .

I’ve come up with 3.

2 studs who are huge in the social media world (especially Matthews) go completely off grid for 2 weeks thus far while together.

Let the rumours fly somethings up.
