Every time I watched McDavid last year I instantly thought to myself.... "####, this is easily the best player of the league and we are going to have to deal with him for at least a decade while he continues to get better"

That's not a bad thing. The Oilers had Gretzky, the Flames had to match them. And they did.
The Oilers and Flames haven't pushed each other for twenty years and both are worse for it. "At least we're better than Edmonton/Calgary" is pathetic when either side says it - we have both been largely irrelevant outside of Cinderella seasons.
But not now. Now Calgary has built some mixture of Nashville and Chicago, and Edmonton has the best young player in the world.
Let them fight.
