There's little doubt that McDavid is a factor here but even if he wasn't an Oiler and they were the last place team in the league they would opt for the Oilers over the Flames as the Oilers bring in higher viewership numbers. There are more hardcore fans in Edmonton and their fan support is more broad in Alberta and Sask.
