Former NHL forward Ryan Smyth said he hasn't been asked but has considered letting Edmonton Oilers
"Haven't been contacted at all (about McDavid) … it's all rumors," Smyth told the Edmonton Sun on Monday. "I haven't put my name forward. It's not that I haven't thought about it though."
Smyth, who played for the Oilers for 15 seasons and retired in 2014, lived with Edmonton teammate Kelly Buchberger and his wife when he started his NHL career in 1995, the Journal said.
"Three or four months I lived with them," Smyth said.
