Would it? What would the haul be?
Tough to argue they'd be better served when they came within a game of winning the cup a few months back. This contract (and McDavid's next one) are going to kill the Oilers down the line, but that's not new news, that happens with all these contracts. What it does do is extend their current window 4-5 years and if it does that they're laughing.
McDavid, Drai and a goalie capable of stealing a game or two isn't a typical NHL recipe for success but it;s working for hte Oilers as of right now, and I'm not sure they have another option
