Gretzky Shrugs Off McDavid Trade Talk With A Statue Line

Wayne Gretzky did what great veterans always do when the rumor mill gets too cute - he answered with a line sharp enough to stop the whole conversation.

When Gretzky jokes about Edmonton, it lands because he knows exactly how loud the noise gets around a franchise centerpiece.
