If you're paying one player $14M, that drives everyone else's salary up. Now if you want $10M, you don't need multiple cups and a Conn Smythe, you just need to be $4M worse than Connor.

Edmonton has been a jerk franchise for a long time and I'm sure other GM's have noticed their track record with 1st round picks so I'm willing to bet that there is a GM out there who would gladly put the Oilers in a tight spot and give McDavid max term/dollar offer sheet. Wouldn't shock me in the least.
4 mid to late first round picks with Edmonton drafting?? Definitely could see this happen.
