I feel as if i have a very deep roster and i was in need of a big move, so here it is. I am sending away a ton of young NHL talent in Chabot, Keller and Kakko, and a bunch of prospects to help Edmonton rebuild, starring Robertson and UPL. I also send 3 top 30 picks, including 4th overall. In the end, i am picking up McDavid, who needs no explanation. The cost feels a bit high but im hoping its worth it and pulls my team out of the bottom of the standings, hopefully towards the top.
@indiansnation , it was a pleasure doing business with you.
