It also gives McDavid the benefit of not leaving a cup finalist.
You just know if he leaves now the narrative is "he said he wanted to win but he left the team that lost in the finals twice"
Spector already wrote that article stating that the Oilers give McDavid the best chance to win, ignoring that no matter what team McDavid is on they instantly become a contender.
Like if you put McDavid on San Jose next year and replaced him with nobody on Edmonton then I'd bet that the Sharks finish ahead of the Oilers next year.
