If McDavid is playing while injured, it likely means a few things:
1. The oilers management are incredibly stupid. Just beyond incompetent to do that to the “Golden Goose”.
2. It might mean he needs surgery to fully recover from it but management knows they are beyond cooked if they shut McDavid down for >2 months. The docs may have said something like “he probably won’t make the injury worse by playing but will not get back to 100% if he keeps playing.”
3. If their season trend continues for another 2 weeks, they likely throw in the towel and shut McDavid down for however long it takes to heal.
4. If they throw in the towel on this season, that’s likely it for Draisaitl with the oilers. Could see trade request by December with the trade maybe happening by the TDL. Maybe.
