Oilers should trade McDavid for Nick Suzuki to increase their Stanley Cup odds next year

Their superstars produce in the post

All Situations, Playoffs

Matthews 66.4gf%, 66.2xgf%
Marner 65.9xgf%, 55.4xgf%

McDavid 64.2gf%, 63.7xgf%
Draisaitl 63.3gf%, 64.0xgf%

and that's with marner getting by far the most SH time and McDavid and Drai getting far more PP time.

CMD and LD scored in buckets and said “it’s Stanley Cup or bust next season”

Matthews and Marner did neither. Dubas said Florida shaking up their core last season paid dividends.

lmao of course they lose because of their unending cheapness.
