I hope he just stays in Edmonton at this point though, he's not getting any better and him and Draisaitl can follow the same path as Thornton & Marleau.
Carolina would be an interesting team, they do have the horses that they don't need to over played McDiver during regular season and he can have more gas in the tank for playoff. It would be funny if Edmonton offers him $18M and he declines and turns around sign with Carolina at $16 for 4 years, and go win the Cup, then when the cap rises, signs with any team other than Edmonton for the absolute max.
