A friend recently brought up this McDavid thing, and I said well Pitsburgh for all their talent has only won once (definitely no dynasty). They probably won't win again given their situation. The Oilers also do not have a Malkin, or a defence, or even a Fleury level goalie (sad as that sounds)
He countered and said I see them as Washington west. The more I thought about it the more that makes sense. I think the Oilers are going to get better but like Washington their not a complete top down contender. I can see them following similar paths.
