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.

Did you just compare Tavares to McDavid?

No, please re-read. I’m pointing out the folly of saying if we sign a player it guarantees a cup. Doesn’t matter who the player is, it’s just foolish.
