Connor McDavid could be an NHL legend in the making, so it's understandable that fans would go to great lengths to get their hands on a souvenir from him. Recently, one fan traded his nearly decade-old beard for a puck from the young Oilers superstar.

Nick Cordell said he hadn't been clean shaven since 2008 but was willing to part with his huge beard if it meant a prize from McDavid, so he brought a sign to Tuesday's Blues-Oilers game in St. Louis making that proposal.

Luckily for Cordell (but unfortunately for his beard), McDavid obliged.

Something tells me it might take a little bit for Cordell to get adjusted to that new look -- especially when the winter temperatures drop -- but it's worth it. Hair grows back, but a McDavid souvenir is forever.
