I guess it is a good deal but that is still a lot of money to tie up into one player. Oilers will have roughly $30mil tied up into 4 players that is going to be tough to manage. I guess the strategy will be to play players with McDavid, let them rack up career points and trade them for a good return. Rinse and repeat year after year to accumulate prospects.
I guess we will see what happens moving forward but I really like what the Flames have done with top players over the past couple of years.
