Toronto has better D, more financial flexibility moving into next season and a better group of prospects overall (see brown, kapenen, shoshankov, gauthier and hyman as good examples of depth). Only place it’s close is goaltending but after that game Edmonton had against buffalo last night Anderson may have the advantage over talbot

I think you’d have to take the oilers solely on the fact that they have mcdavid

Toronto has more young talent than Edmonton. You can’t go wrong with Matthews or McDavid. They are both studs. However, the depth of young players is better in Toronto. There is Marner, Carrick, Kapanen, Nylander, Shoshankov, Brown, Hyman & Reilly in Toronto. That is more than Edmonton has.

If the oilers didn’t make the hall-Larson trade, it’d be close. But I have to give the advantage to Toronto.

Really!? I don’t think either of these teams will make it. Austin Matthews MADE HISTORY in Ottawa and the leafs still lost, that is a testament to how bad their team is even though they have Matthews. And Edmonton traded for better goal tending (Elliot/Johnson) and for better defense (Larson) and both of them got embarrassed by Buffalo sunday night. Mcdavid didn’t even put up a point that game. Both teams have huge problems that will prevent them from getting into the post season.
Edmonton or Toronto going to the playoffs? Try Jack Eichel and the Buffalo Sabres going this year.

Lol that’s Calgary that has Elliot and Johnson Edmonton has no one but talbot. But good try chief

Also this post is about future of each team not who will make the playoffs this year

ya sorry about the mix up, to me western canada is just bunch of pretty mountains and embarrassing hockey teams. Bottom line both of these teams have a handful of good players combined. It will take a couple of brilliant trade to fix these teams, not just 1st round picks (looking at you Edmonton) and run of the mill free agents.

McDavid is the best player of the six mentioned but Matthews, Marner and Rielly as a whole are the better group of three.
