It started with a simple question posted on X.com (Twitter) World hockey report And it turned into a fire storm of ideas, sarcastic reactions and some fans left the rails, suggested that there was no honest return for Connor McDavid
But because the best player in the world said he is taking his time with a contract extension and he has no preference when that extension is signed, fans everywhere, including Edmonton, wonder what the future has in store.
Oilers -fans hold their breath, hoping that McDavid will arrive and sign a new deal in a few weeks. If he doesn’t, what about it? Maybe nothing. But does commercial katter start to pick up? World Hockey Report led the things.

“If the Oilers would exchange McDavid, what would be the ideal return?” They asked.
The McDavid trade reactions were everywhere on the map
At the time of writing this message, the thread ironically contained 97 responses. Among them were wild trade proposals, ranging from the ambitious to the absurd. Some attempt at serious negotiations: one Sharks fan proposed a package MacKlin Celebrini, Will Smith and two picks in the first round, while a wild supporter drove a blockbuster trait from David Jiricek, Marco Rossi, several future scoops and deep players.
A fan wrote that Vegas should send Mitch Marner and Jack Eichel, another fan said, at most Eichel himself.
Others, however, leaned in the chaos. One commentator joked that in order to get the captain of the oilers, a team ‘all other NHL players’ should exchange, while another had an offer of ‘Bracco and a second round pick’ deadpanned.
Not everyone bought the hypothetical frenzy. “Why even make an effort with this conversation? The oilers would never, and he will sign up again in a week or so,” wrote a fan, who reflects the conviction that Edmonton is still the clear favorite to keep their superstar in the long term.
The answers also emphasized how impossible it would be to match the value of McDavid. Just as a fan expressed it, “zero percent chance that you will come close to his actual value.”
For now, the Twitter -Thread is just another memory that when it comes to Connor McDavid, any rumor, real or imaginated, will always cause a fire storm.
