McDavid told the Oilers he isn't coming?
What scared me most after the Oilers won the lotto, and seeing the disappointment on McDavid's face, was the thought that this is going to be the catalyst that gets MacT + Lowe fired, finally. I honestly believe that McDavid + his agent have no intention of joining that circus in Edmonton, and would express this to management/Katz.
The Oilers are already on the top of every sought after UFAs 'do not sign there' list, large in part to Lowe/MacT, so that avenue is closed. Now, if you remove their ability to even sign drafted players, because of those 2 goofs, then how can business possibly go on with them in the fold? It can't. Even the biggest 80s Oiler fan billionaire can see that.
This scares me. Coming the day after the Oilers won Connor McDavid, they hired someone above Lowe + MacT, who is not an old boy. Reading between the lines... I fully expect both to be released by the club before we get to the draft.
