The thing is, if a team is confident in it's draft history, losing four first round picks can be disasterous, especially if you're a bad team after that trade. Here's the "best" of the first round picks prior to the McDavid draft, assuming a top 5-10 pick:
- Ehlers
- Monahan
- Lindholm
- Scheifele
I would take those four players over one McDavid any day.

You are assuming the team that offer sheets McDavid will finish near the basement for 4 years? Compare the average 15-30 picks...most of them don't play 100 games. It would be a no brainer for McDavid. Worst case the Oilers match and pay more than they expected
