McDavid, Draisaitl is essentially all they need. They play half the game.... more of it if you actually take into consideration the scenario. they impact a majority of the game.

McDavid is 600 pts behind Crosby who I've considered the easily the greatest player in the last 25 years....and McDavid is 28.....and has played 10 less seasons....We're HALFWAY through his career in an Oilers uniform. I don't know why you think there is an imminent implosion coming. I'm not saying they are sure-fire Cup winners but what I am saying is there is no implosion on the cards as long as McDavid's around...they'll always be contenders. That's pretty much torture to think that there's another decade left of this nonsense.

Okay goalpoasts...they will not be bringing back the same team let alone adding to it. They are the oldest team in the NHL and have some MAJOR raises on the horizon. Their goaltending is currently costing 3.6M total, their top line winger is 40. Their #1D is 36 This year is the best the Oilers will ever be.
IMO if you like. Lets not downplay 6 and 7 million dollar raises like it won't effect them at all.
