It's a funny predicament. The only way for the Oilers to actually become a deeper and well rounded team that can compete any time soon is to send their most hyped player packing. For a team whose last decade has been built on hype, it's the ultimate test.

They'll probably trade Drai - Gut the entire roster and end up as a basement dweller. McD asks for a trade out of Edmonton. Fans turn on him burning their 97 sweatpants on twitter, while chanting out names of the past great oilers.
Oilers win another "Generational Player" and the cycle of No Good continues.
