Yet players go where they want to be, we have seen it time and again. We saw it with Gaudreau. McDavid wants to go home, he wants try and bring a Cup to Toronto. He wants to play with with his best friend who he trains with in the offseason which is Matthews, not Draisaitl. Can he get more money from the Oilers? Sure. Can he be around family and friends, still get a boatload of money, and chase his childhood dream? Absolutely. McDavid wants to cement his place in hockey history, no matter what he accomplishes in Edmonton he will always be in 99's shadow and he knows it.
