What’s funny is everything can spiral out of control really fast. If the oilers start the season as poorly as they usually do, that likely hurts the chances of him signing even more. Struggling to start the season and McDavid not signing will stir up the “Should the oilers consider trading McDavid if they are not in a playoff spot by the TDL?” and the “can’t let him walk to free agency and have nothing to show for it”. That will spiral into trade rumours and distractions and the implosion will be epic.
