Just getting McDavid could actually help prevent the Oilers from the so-called wrecking of players during development.
What would it take to get Seth Jones away from the Nashville Predators? How about a centre not named Nugent-Hopkins or Draisaitl, a couple of prospects and a draft choice or two?

So getting McDavid will make it easier to develop Draisaitl because McDavid will be thrown to the wolves instead?
