As long as the Oilers have McDavid and Draisatl they have a chance. If those two leave, they barely have a chance at making the playoffs for the next decade. That's an easy choice.
The problem is that they will not have the worst prospect pool in the NHL if they trade them. Other than Bedard, I think they could get any prospect in the league for 2 years of McDavid. And more.
