If he is in, you trade probably Draisatl for assets to try and load up. Build properly through the draft and patiently develop.
If I were a fan, I'd rather have that hope than cut corners and likely at best end up in mediocrity. This of course is all dependent on purging the organization of rotten culture it has.
But - they probably won't purge, McDavid probably isn't that patient in his prime, so the likely result is a hasty retool with predictable results. Edmonton = No Good!

Listing to the presser, it appears this is the path. No Good!
