If McDavid gets $11-12m/yr, the Oilers can't afford to pay 5 forwards $35-36m/yr. I see them trying to dump Eberle or RNH cause Lucic is going to cost them big for a salary dump.
I remember watching the draft lottery and seeing McDavid put on a brave face when the Oilers won. I can see him bolt to Toronto for big money. Endorsement deals in TO will be worth more then Edmonton as well.

Toronto is going to have some troubles of their own when Marner and Mathews need new deals.
Teams that constantly draft in that number one or two spot and pick up generational players will eventually end up in cap hell.
