As of 2:00 p.m. on Friday, more than 7,500 fans had voted on the Twitter poll, with the result split down the middle, 49 per cent saying they would do it, 51 per cent saying they would not.

Landsberg directed this question at Leafs fans, but the poll got a lot of attention from Edmonton Oilers fans on Twitter, and we can assume the “No” vote was massively bolstered by Oilers fans, given their affection for McDavid and knowledge of hockey.

Among the responses to Landsberg tweet:

Leafs fan #WeTheNorth‏ @RPMcginn: Nope. Matthews has the most upside of any player in league, inc Mcdavid. Not a chance I do this deal. McDavid will get injured stylistically

Leafs fan Jamie Phillips‏ @911jaybird: McDavid is awesome. But to say he is that much better then Matthews no way!!!
