I don't know about McDavid. If the rumour of Draisatl getting $13.5M is true they need to find $5M above his current salary somewhere. I am sure Bouchard, who also needs to be signed next season is looking across at Nurse and thinking I will need at least $9M also, so another $6M jump.
The Oilers currently are over the cap by $350K with only 21 guys signed.
With there cap situation they will need to sign 9 guys next year with approximately $30M to do so. Draisatl and Bouchard are eating up $21M of that so they will have $9M for 7 guys. If they re-sign Broberg and Holloway then $4.8M of that is gone and they still have to sign 5 guys.
I think they will be in hell for a couple years now.
