It's going to be interesting to see how things unfold in the next two seasons. It's just a shame that Holland likely won't be the guy tasked with dealing with it. Then again what's the chances that the Oilers don't screw up hiring his replacement?

Katz would pay it just to keep his name recognition for the organization. I do think the Oilers will pay whatever it takes and it's just a matter of McDavid deciding between money and winning a cup/not living in Edmonton.
