If not, trade now with term and get as much as you can. Don't wait until the last year of the contracts. I'd rather go through an Eric Lindros than a Wayne Gretzky.

This is still the worst take. Gretzky was not imminently going to be a UFA. He had three or four seasons to go - you had to be 31 to become unrestricted back then. He also had just had his wedding in Edmonton and he and his new wife were shopping for houses.
The fact is, more often trades for superstars are like the Gretzky deal than the Lindros deal, and as I laid out earlier this week, the Nords/Avs got lucky that Forsberg turned in to the player he did and they didn’t get another prospect from that draft instead. In case you think they had any inside knowledge on Forsberg, remember that they tried to dump the Flyers deal in favour of the New York package minutes later.
That was also before the salary cap - now a team is going to be looking to move at least 8-9MM of junk contracts back to us in any deal or asking us to retain some salary so we can be paying #97 still when he wins a Cup for another team.
On top of that, the Nords traded Lindros but they still had Salic, Sundin, Nolan - they had other building blocks. The Oilers have basically nothing without McDavid and Draisaitl. Remember we get outscored by a 2-to-1 margin when they’re not on the ice. What amount of picks, prospects, and older expensive guys are going to be needed to change that? Make no mistake, the “trade McDavid” plan is a stupid one.
|
But what if you know Vasilevskiy is going to start fighting with Cooper and demand a trade, and you know that a totally average goalie you get as part of the McDavid trade will be deemed an acceptable return for Vasilevskiy? THEN do you make the McDavid trade? :)
The generational fluke to be able to steal Roy had as much, if not more, to do with Colorado's 2 cups than the Lindros trade.
