I know, I know, slim chance, but the lulz? Oh, man, it would've been through the roof. I guarantee it'd probably rival the playoffs themselves for fan attention.
If that happened I think all fans of the eastern conference would kill themselves. I know Toews said Tampa was their most difficult opponent, but lets be straight, Anaheim would have beat the lightning, and Nashville too.
I remember reading on HFBoards that Oilers fans would saying LA would have essentially been the new dynasty had McDavid gone there. They were saying that the Western Conference might as well dissolve.
It would've been funny to see it happen. You have all these teams' fans begging the hockey gods to give them McDavid, but then they say, "Lo! We shall send McDavid to LA, and Eichel to Arizona," and the lulz would flow to such a marvelous extent, it really would've.
But history took its course. I guess now we have two dynasties.
As for Anaheim, I've been reading Ducks fans saying they wouldn't have been so powerful against a team like Tampa.
And the Preds.....I had a vision this season of Dolly Parton hoisting the Cup in some fashion.
