I was thinking more along the lines of McDrai

McJesus strikes me as someone who doesn’t seek change, most zen in known environments
A superstar version of Andrei Markov - the dude was comfortable in Mtl, yet no one ever saw or heard from him anywhere in the city

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
The fact that teams have more money to use for offer sheets also means that they have more money to fend off offer sheets. The Ducks have more than enough spare cap space to match any offer that McTavish is likely to receive.

Common sense.
Offer sheets rarely succeed at the best of times and the best of times isnt when every team has a ton of extra money with which to match offer sheets. McTavish might get traded but an offer sheet wont be enough to pry him away from the Ducks. They will match any deal offered.
Why trade Price just to give another team LTIR money? We should use it ourselves
But if don't need the space, are we not just giving away 10.5 wiggle room? Seems to me it is a wash and would only be helping another org

BBQ season!
They rarely happen for top 6 players
Who wants to be the fool to handout 10+ mil to MM to even have Ducks think about not matching
Secondly you need a team to be totally capped out like Edmonton last year
Thirdly it screws up your internal cap if you have better star players who are next
When you connect all the dots they are rarely given out

Even one that would give them four 1sts?

What if those four first rounders turn out to be Terry Ryan, Matt Higgins, Jason Wsrd, and Eric Chouinard? Those are the Habs first round picks from 1995-98.
A McTavish in the hand is worth two Jason Wards in the bush.
4 firsts not sure about that , they are loaded at center

What about Demidov, Hague, Reinbacher, Slafkovsky ?
Or Lafleur, Shutt, Gainey even if the 4th one is Cam Connor ?

But what if none of those 4 picks are in the lottery?
Anyway, Sharks-Ducks is setting up to be a bitter decade long rivalry at the top of the WC. We’ll see if Chicago can get in there too.

McTavish is a known quantity. Draft picks are magic beans. You're trading one sure thing foe 4 maybes.

Agreed. But it's disingenuous to only refer to a worst case scenario...
