The one thing about them adding McDavid is that he sure makes it clear how ordinary the aforementioned guys are when you watch them all on the same sheet of ice.

The Oilers are starring at two massive raises in Draisatl who will probably get $6.5 and McDaivd who will probably get north of at least $11 million.
So the Oilers are going to have to in the next two years dump major salary and probably not sign any high priced help, unless they say screw it, next year is our window, and we might need to wreck our team to do it.
With the terrible threesome of Eberle, RNH and Lucic. I firmly believe that Eberle and RNH have pretty much plateaued and Lucic is on the slide down now.
that's 18 million that they'll have to get rid of, but in a cap world nobody is going to do the Oilers a favor and just take their full salaries.
Lots of big decisions and angst coming in Edmonton.
They really should have drafted better.
