when you compare the flames and oilers rebuilds, gio is the major outlier and biggest thing the oilers are lacking.

it's such a luxury for the flames, that even despite great talent and leadership qualities from young guys like monahan, there is absolutely no question who the leader and captain of this team is.

the poor oilers have to decide who is the leader of their team by default.
hall or mcjesus? who will better cope with having the captaincy thrust upon them?

it's the reason why the age of the player shouldn't put a damper on this signing; players of this age are good for the dynamic of a young team, and a complete absence of elite veterans can create a leadership void.
