Well, I think the cap hit McDavid took in with a lot of time wasted on evaluating talent which didn't transpire, really led to wasted years. I'm not an Oilers hater to the degree those here are (I think McDavid is going to be the best player ever), but I don't know how they're seen as a favourite based on their team makeup. The West is weak, I think most acknowledge that, but this years team isn't good enough to go all the way.
