Having said that, away from mcdavid he's no $8.5M player. Not even close. At that tag you'd need to carry a successful line by yourself. He cannot do that.
If I was McLellan I'd put scrubs like Rattie and Cagiula on Mcdavid's wings and is the few NHL caliber forwards with Draisaitl to at least somewhat balance the attack. When the first line isn't on the ice the oilers they have scored 1 goal in 6 games and allowed 8.
