    The lack of winning is a big part of McDavid weighing his options, but being tucked away in western Canada might not be his ideal choice either. A prominent US city will definitely be more attractive. His quote… “I don’t have a preference either way” Ouch. I think he’s going to bolt.

    Lol… I used to think getting McDavid was a remote possibility because I figured he might eventually want out of Edmonton. Plus, our salary commitments would allow for his demands. Unfortunately our team is no where close to being ready to compete. We haven’t even bottomed out yet. That pain is coming.

    It’s a hard spot for him. With his salary it will be hard for a serious contender to take him. Vegas might find a way but that’s it.

    If he demands top dollar, yeah, he’ll have problems getting on a top 5 team. If he takes a page out of Sid’s book, he should be able to land on a perennial contender. The more I think about it, the less I think he’ll sign in Edmonton. On another note… Sounds like the Pens are getting sold. Mario’s group is out. DK says a deal is expected in October to some guy named Hoffman. He owns an ECHL team in FLA.

    I see him taking top dollar. Might sacrifice a mill or two but will still be highest in the league.

    Yeah I read about that Hoffman dude on Reddit somewhere. As long as he’s willing to spend idc who owns the team. Except the pegulas of course.
