I want him out of there.

I'm torn, Part of me wants them to stubbornly hold onto a max salary McDavid with no draft picks, no prospects in their pipeline of note, a aging roster locked in with cap issues.
I want to see McDavid become more and more despondent as the dream of leading a team to the cup fades, and he inevitably loses a step and his production starts to drop from both a diminished physical ability due to the Oilers over playing him for more then a decade, and a realization that . . . he . . . just not the best player int he world anymore.
Then one day just before training camp on another dreary season for the Oilers who can't even rebuild. McDavid vanishes. The mystery deepen, was he kidnapped by Aliens? Snatched by a radical offshoot sect of Scientology in Guatemala and murdered and stuffed and worshipped as their reborn god Xenu?
Then one day some news reporters files a exclusive story of a reclusive, grubby long bearded cab driver in Mexico city named Mojo Risen who bears a striking resemblance to McDavid who's quoted as saying "I f####### hate hockey."
