That's a lot of clout for an 18 year old.
Hell, Gretzky was the spoils for a cribbage bet and happily reported to Edmonton.
McDavid is more Eric Lindros than Wayne Gretzky.

You could be on to something Reggie.
McDavid obviously wasn't thrilled upon learning that the Oilers had won the lottery. He wanted to be in Buffalo where he'd be close to home, or in Arizona where he could play with his "boiiiiii" Max Domi.
McDavid and his agent are probably very familiar with the gong show that has been the Oilers since 2006 as well.
I think McDavid will be pretty close to Crosby level and will be an excellent player for the Oilers, but this kid is not going to tolerate BS, and that's where the Lindros comparisons become valid.
