You're silly if you think Chicago won't give him whatever he wants. This is the exact time to do that, while the player is in their age-19 season and the prime is yet to come. These max term deals are foolish for people in their age-30 seasons but you will get your money's worth when you give them out in their age-19 seasons to take effect at ages 21-29.

One thing is certain however and that is that there is no way the Oilers will be better without him and Draisaitl.

McDavid was no more of a complete player this year than ever before, at least in my eyes. Play the entire PP, bellyache about non-calls, on and on. Everyone who reads this forum has seen it dozens of times. Nugent-Hopkins was a much more 'complete player' in my opinion.
And they'll have to be better without McDavid and Draisaitl because the day will come when they aren't 28 and 29 anymore.
