This is the team that they are betting on that takes them to the cup. If they falter and miss the playoffs or a quick first round exit, I would not be the least surprised if either McDavid, Draisatl or both request a trade at the end of this year since the following years will just be a rinse and repeat.
This is a massive year with a ton of pressure on the Oilers

Every team has committed to a core and we're less than two months from being in the conference finals. Things are looking real good and the windows has really just opened up.
