So the oilers wanted to see if their season could be saved with McDavid at say 70%.
Everyone thinks they’ll make a move for a goalie/defenceman but if they don’t win at least 5 of their next 6 games, the season is effectively over for them. They could make a trade now but it could likely involves their first round pick since teams know how desperate they are. If they make that trade and still struggle for the next week or so, it’s the worst case scenario for them - horrible season and no first round pick along with also likely losing Draisaitl to a trade demand. Followed shortly after by McDavid.
