Except not really lining the owners pockets because there is a salary cap and players get 50% of league wide revenues.
If every player on the oilers (or any team) took 6% less, which is what mcDavid did, it frees up $4.5m of salary cap. Which is the addition of a player like Hamonic or Stone. Or the difference between a Brouwer and a Hossa. Its meaningful.
The silver lining is that the oilers are still ####ed because they can't manage the cap. And either way they will lose Maroon and RNH at the end of this season.
