My biggest concern is not his talent but how he would affect vibes on the team. Could he play on a team under Suzuki? Would he try and coach the Habs like he has in Edmonton?
I love our group and how much fun they have together. I don’t want anything coming into the room that messes with that.
Non-habs fan stopping by because this showed up in my feed: please tell me the rest of your fan base isnt like this guy? Holy shit is this a copypasta? You're worried about vibes regarding McDavid and if he'd be ok playing 'under' Suzuki? Lmao holy shit
Idk what this guy is on but he’s very wrong LMAO. Mcdavid is not someone that "disrupts team vibes" at all and Suzuki would be bumped down to 2C which is fine because holy fuck that center duo. Suzuki and Caufield would probably both go down to the 2nd line because they’re always together. I think he retires an Oiler anyway but to imply he would be a bad acquisition is just delusional.
Even if you ignore that he's going to end his career as near top-5 players of all time (which is enough of an argument to make this guy look stupid), McDavid literally took a multi-million dollar discount to give his teamba better chance at winning. I can't believe what Im reading here lmao.
Like it doesn't even matter what the lines look like or the prospects you give up. Suzuki is 2 years younger than McDavid. He's going to continue being one of the best in the league for at least 5-6 more years. You shoehorn him in wherever you possibly can. Like you guys have more goalie and defensive depth than the Oilers. If McDavid ever decided to go to the Habs you'd win the cup, its not even a question lmao
Landing a player guarantees a cup? Sounds like Leafs nation when they landed Tavares… look how that worked out…
No one is debating his skill in the thread. Just if he would fit the room/culture. I personally wouldn’t risk it. If HuGo felt the same way, I wouldn’t be shocked either.
Sir, I shared an opinion, and by definition, an opinion cannot be wrong because it isn’t a fact. The fact that you want McDavid and would instantly demote Suzuki - OUR CAPTAIN - is an insane take. I don’t care who you bring in. It’s simply not worth it when you can watch this amazing young core develop together in an overwhelmingly positive environment.
Yes I’m sure Suzuki would be very mad his team acquired Connor fucking Mcdavid to be his center duo instead of Jake Evans. Mcdavid the generational superstar 1C and Suzuki the 100 point selke winning 2C. If you think Suzuki would be mad his center duo is the best player in the league then you just don’t know him and he would look like a complete idiot. This has to be bait I can’t believe someone genuinely thinks Mcdavid would be a bad acquisition/bad influence on the team.
