I honestly don't believe McDavid makes it through his entire contract in EDM. I think he will request a trade in 3-4 years. Chiarelli had no idea how to manage assets, we saw it in Boston with Seguin, here with Yakupov, Eberle, and the Larsson trade. He rushes certain players, but stalls others. I don't understand how Benson isn't on this team yet, but guys like Brodziak and Granlund are. Benson is a great playmaker in a very unorganized league in the AHL. Imagine how good he'd be in a more fluid league like the NHL (Albeit, EDM isn't exactly structured). The ownership is stuck in the 80's with all these subpar grinders on lines like Kassian. Nuge walks, McDavid requests a trade, and then they'll trade Drai for a RD....
