After last nights interview we could be watching the last 3 games of Captain Connor in Edmonton

I don't see this happening.
Don't get me wrong, he's 100% requesting a trade. I just think it will be during the 2021 offseason. Next year there will be rumours and grumblings that he is unhappy, and summer 2021 he will officially hold out.
Then again the Kevin Lowe Oilers have never failed to disappoint so maybe he does bounce this season..
|
Even IF McDavid did request a trade at some point there is no way I would comply. He's under contract for the next 7 seasons with zero leverage. Sure he could try and sit out but he's too much of a competitor, even if he did I still wouldn't trade him. Look what Ottawa got back for trading the best dman in the game...a whole lotta nothing. I've never subscribed to the belief that the instant a player requests a trade you must oblige or they will become some kind of locker room cancer that will destroy the team.

Totally agree.
This is the Oilers though and I haven't seen any evidence that they learn from mistakes.
Dont forget, we once had the best defenceman in the league under contract too. Then he requested a trade and we gifted the Ducks a Cup.
With the "culture" being what it is I don't see 97 here after 2021. Hope I'm wrong.
