For sure, after Mcdavid extends there, the Oilers will absolutely need to get guys on the cheap who are doing it to try win with them. Some guys will do that, some guys won't. The best way to win is to do so while your top players are on their ELCs or their second contracts before these massive ones that take them to their retirement, but the Oilers weren't able to do that, so while they have 2 great players who likely will stay great for 3 or 4 seasons, time will catch up.
