For sheer entertainment value, here’s your winner.
The Canadiens are the New York Yankees of the NHL when it comes to tradition, and, though they haven’t won a Cup since 1993, it’s not hard to envision that drought ending in the near, rather than long-term, future.
Just imagining McDavid slotting in alongside Cole Caufield on his right side or Juraj Slafkovský on his left might drive a fan of Les Habitants into a frothing mess, and there’s presumably enough young talent in the cupboard to make it worth Bowman’s while when considering a possible return.
No real rooting interest here, but if we’re picking based on the non-Edmonton possibility we’d most like to watch, it’s that player in that building wearing that uniform and working with coach Martin St. Louis.
