Really surprised they made this move now. Thought for sure they were just very content with riding this season out for McDavid.

Looking at the standings... They are dead last in the league with no games in hand against the teams ahead of them. Within a few days they will have a 7 point cushion for a bottom two finish. Plus Carolina is a team in the east so they have a much better chance of improving in the standings than the oilers do. The oilers have all but assured themselves a dead last finish this year.
