The problem is that the rest of the team is overpaid for how much the supporting cast actually delivers. Whether it's a premium to be paid because of the City of Edmonton, or an overpay because McDavid inflates everyone else's numbers.
Those terrible other contracts are the ones that prevent the team from winning a cup. Scoring has never been their problem. Forwards and defensemen who can keep pucks out of their own net is their biggest issue.
