Meh. Even Gretzky in his prime couldn't get another cup after leaving Edmonton. And he had solid teammates in Robitallie, Kurri, Blake, Coffey, Hrudy, etc. I guarantee McDavid alone doesn't get Edmonton close to the playoffs next year. Not with their AHL worthy defense and goaltending. Even their solid group of forwards are incredibly one dimensional and prefer toe-drags over back checking or defense. They're a cap team with below average prospects and the worst management out of any team in any of the 4 major pro sports. Take all the #1 picks you want, we still churn out better players using our 4th round picks.
