I could see it being another "cup or bust" situation, this time for real. Making game 7 of the finals was enough last time to convince Draisaitl to sign. I wouldn't be surprised if McDavid is saying to the Oilers, if we win the Cup next year, I'll re-sign for life. If we don't, I am gone. It could force the Oilers to push whatever chips they have left all in for one more kick at it.
