Boy's Boy's Boy's, you're missing the big picture
1) There's no way that Katz gets rid of Lowe and Mac-t now for the next two years. Why do you think that Mac-T labeled next year as a development year, and the year after they move to a new building. Katz is going to give these two every opportunity to be able to stand in front of the press and say they told them so. If the Oilers had dropped back the chances of Lowe and Mac-T being around next year would be low.
2) Every GM in the NHL knows that Mac-T is going to be looking desperately for a top defenseman and a top goaltender, and the prices are going to go up. Especially since those type of players don't grow on trees. The Oilers are going to be in a sellers market.
3) The Oilers are already a cap team and in two years they're going to have to break up that core. Its just the way it is.
Relax fellas, that team with or without McDavid has no leadership, no heart, no two way game, no roster depth and no future.
