Mcdavid could save their franchise the way Crosby did for Pittsburgh
Obv the Leafs are another team conspiracy theorists think could win the lotto
I'm frankly ok with either of them winning it, as long as we finish last & then get Eichel
Although McDavid looks to be far above any prospect we've seen in quite some time

Disagree the yotes have never drawn well. Pittsburgh did in the past. Hockey does not belong in the desert

Posted this in the earlier blog...

For a little perspective on just how good McDavid might be...
These are the stats for the last 6 guys chosen #1 overall through 38games in their draft year:

Stamkos... 33g-29a-62pts
Tavares... 35g-33a-68pts
Hall... 29g-39a-68pts
Nugent-Hopkins... 10g-49a-59pts
Yakupov... 30g-35a-65pts
MacKinnon... 27g-38a-65pts

McDavid... 37g-63a-100pts

Wow. I didn't realize just how good a year he was having till I saw this statline...
Pretty amazing

Mark Pysyk has nothing to do with us winning.

It's ALL the opposition not getting up to play us

There is no reason for Florida and Arizona to have teams. Nashville supports their team as does Tampa but Florida needs to go to Quebec and Arizona can go to Vegas, Seattle, Kansas City, or Ontario

Nashville and Tampa currently support their teams as they are good, 4 years ago those stadiums were bare, which is what success will do for a team. That is what they are hoping will happen with AZ

I'm glad I'll be in the process of moving next season. I always felt bad for Cleveland Browns fans who always hold on to a glimmer of hope, but never realize they will never win. That is us, the Cleveland Browns of the hockey world. Enjoy sabres fans, heres to another decade of middle of the road success

Nashville only had 2 seasons where their attendance was below an average of 14K

99-2000 was the last time Tampa had average below 14K

The last 6 in the desert and 8 total in their existence

Florida is averaging a little over 10K...this season

I'm sorry but this team makes me sick to my stomach, they are going to lose out on a franchise player they have needed for years.

This is all a part of the plan. The NHL called up GMTM and said you guys cant keep losing like this and make it obvious you're tanking! Get your team to win some games and we promise you McDavid.

sorry that is what they said to the yotes, as they are losing in a historically comical way. You can always count on them giving up a goal with under 2min in a tie game, even though they may be domination TOP. AZ has # locked, we just need last to get #2

I agree. A team will never succeed in Vegas. The place is a city built on tourism, and who in their right mind would want to see an NHL game on their Vegas vacation that their paying out the nose for. As for the citizens of the Vegas, it's a 3 shift 24/7 town were the population is 1/3 at work during the day shift, 1/3 during swing, 1/3 graveyard. The city will never have enough of its population off during the evenings to go to games, and why would they want to go to games anyways. If I lived in Vegas I would probably put my limited entertainment funds in something else other than hockey. i.e. Rio's seafood buffet
