I contend this is the last season for McDavid in Edmonton. They experience some success or he's going to demand a trade out. They just don't have the cap or availability to talent to get to the level McHobo is hoping for, so I think he pulls the plug and doesn't waste any more of his career. At that point, the rebuild is on again.
