Add in Nurse at $9.25 M, The Tenderness at $5.125, and Hyman and $5.5 M and we get $48.125. That leaves just shy of $36 M for the other 16-18 players.
No one in that core is getting better. They are all at their peak or in decline.

I can't imagine that McDavid wants a legacy of being part of bad Oilers teams that couldn't get it done. His people can read this thread and see where they are headed. Why would he stay?

McDavid will get max. Someone will pay it. If Edmonton is smart (nope) they'd do a sign and trade.
