I guess the 8 years is kind of irrelevant at this point. Really, the Oilers have a 4 to 5 year window left to win anything. I just don't see McDavid sticking longer with the Oilers past that, especially if the last 5 years plays out like how his previous 6 have so far in Edmonton. So Holland doesn't care about term. He wants to load up on the team now.
Problem is, he spent it on the wrong position. Oilers don't have any trouble scoring, so not sure why he felt he had to bolster the forward line. They need better dmen.
