Again, just putting it out there
General consensus I believe is that whoever gets the best player in the trade, wins the trade. (Whether it's the NHL or fantasy football) That's why it is so rare to see true #1 D men or top caliber forwards get traded, especially in their prime. By that reasoning, it is impossible to win a trade when you're giving up McDavid.

There is only one Connor McDavid, he's a generational talent. There's all kinds of first and second liners out there, and more coming into the league every year. I'd argue that the sum of those players is not greater than the value of McDavid himself.
