McLellan: McDavid's deal gave Oilers 'a very tight wallet'

Yep, they have next to no room for error in terms of needing to develop value contracts from within. Something they've proven to be outright inept at in recent years.
Their top two forwards will make more than our top four D, which is considered one of the deepest in the league.
They are going to be a very top heavy team in contract purgatory for many years. Lets hope it keeps them lumbering and stumbling.
