What If...Wayne Gretzky was never traded in 1988?

Wayne Gretzky was on top of the NHL world in the 1980s doing things that no NHL player had ever done before and to this day, his records still stand. Consequentially, the Edmonton Oilers had established a dynasty of their own, winning 4 finals in the decade. But one day in 1988, the Oilers decided to shock the world and trade the GOAT to Los Angeles, one of the biggest markets in America. This trade not only affected the Oilers and the Kings but also created waves that helped form the National Hockey League we know today. What if this trade never happened back in 1988?
