1. Do nothing, take another crack at it with Draisaitl and McDavid still near their peaks. Let Draisaitl leave, win or lose, or circle back to option 3.
2. A trade. What did Vancouver pay for 26 games of 29-year-old Elias Lindholm, and what could Edmonton have got for 82 games of 29-year-old Leon Draisaitl?
3. A reasonable 1-3 year extension for practically any amount, which still leaves option 2 available in the future.
4. Break the bank for a max-term retirement deal at 15.2% of cap for ages 30-37 compared to 11.3% of cap for ages 22-29.
Guess which one the Oilers chose?
