The current Flames have a better chance at the cup than the Oilers, even with McDavid. That team is still a leaking ship, just with a heck of a cannon on it. But neither team is a contender either (yet). If the Oilers pushed for it (which I don't think Chia is doing) Iggy probably wouldn't be opposed but I don't see him pushing to get on that team or anything. He knows he wouldn't get top line time any more like the old days and the Oilers would be idiotic to expect the old Iggy and this great mentor for Connor that will change their team from the inside.
If he gets flipped it's likely to an American team in the upper half of the standings that no one had pegged, for peanuts.
