McDavid definitely has his own set of rules when it comes to suspensions, injuring him, and him injuring others. And it probably applies to an extent towards the whole Oilers team. Z said it perfectly. The NHL is a business, McDavid is the NHL's biggest asset and they have to protect their investment. Their biggest money-maker and fan draw. Soucy? He's sacrificial fodder. Run-of-the-mill replaceable nobody.
Can't wait for McDavid to go elsewhere. Same preferential treatment, but at least it won't be Edmonton.
