Not that I think they will of course. Pretty sure Hall, eberle, and RNH will be upcoming UFAs when McDavid is finishing his ELC and will be looking for his big contract. All this "talent" that the oilers have been handed by the league will be dispersing out when that happens. Suddenly... It will be McDavid all by himself in 3 years. Unless of course their plan is to just keep replenishing their ranks with first overall picks for another 5 years..

theyve been rebuilding for 8 years, i think i oilers wouldn't mind waiting 2 more.
