Five realistic landing spots if McDavid leaves Oilers

With Connor McDavid locked into a two-year Edmonton extension, theScore spins a hypothetical: if he requests a move after Edmonton’s playoff exit, five realistic destinations could pursue him—San Jose Sharks (assets and Celebrini-era future), The Mammoth (a contending, cap-friendly option), Montreal Canadiens (strong prospect pool and picks to entice), Tampa Bay Lightning (contender with a ruthless palate for big moves), and the Maple Leafs (McDavid’s hometown with dramatic trade potential). The piece notes the tension around the Oilers’ direction, McDavid’s win-now mindset, and how a next-adjacent deal could reshape the league even as Toronto looms large in talks.”,
