from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
This trade is not going to happen and it never would have happened. It is not a serious proposition even if maybe it should be.
It is immaterial that the Oilers had won three straight — including their first two with incoming head coach Kris Knoblauch — entering Saturday’s match at Tampa Bay after bottoming out at 2-9-1. The team could be 2-12-1 and this trade would not have been considered.
This is not merely Fantasy Land material. It is Fantastical Land matter.
But here is my question. Adopting suspension of disbelief in world’s record proportions, which team do you think would have a better chance to win the Stanley Cup if the Oilers and Islanders pull off this deal?
Connor McDavid, Evan Bouchard and either Stuart Skinner or Calvin Pickard from Edmonton to the Island in exchange for Ilya Sorokin and Mat Barzal.

I will drive Barzy and Soroki to the airport! :)
Brooks is an idiot
Amazing these people are paid to write about hockey
total clickbait. anyone who would move mcdavid is crazy unless hes not re-signing, which, why would he when his deal is up? they have totally wasted his prime years. just embarrassing. my god, what if Detroit could get him and a real goalie in the next few years?
What a waste of internet space Brooks. You should have stopped after, "this trade is not going to happen".
