As much as I want to see the Oilers languish with Draisatl then McDavid leaving, paying Bouchard, Nurse, McDavid and Draisatl $50 million till the 2030's means they would have to rely on cheap prospects to even have a chance. Too bad they don't have any worthwhile prospects and their draft picks and they pick 4 times in the first 5 rounds the next two years so restocking the cupboards is years away. Even with 100 million salary cap, they would have 2.63 million per player for the rest of the roster.
