Well, the only reason I can imagine is that, inconceivably, the Oilers might actually make the playoffs and whats more, not suck entirely.

Granted, this is about 90% due to McDavid himself, so yeah, if it were me I'd want to get paid.

Remove McDavid from the Oilers and they're just as terrible as ever.
