Not sure this will make a huge difference for them. Seems like another overpaid AHL goalie to me. But I get why they feel it’s worth the gamble.

They have the rest of this season with McDavid and maybe next, depending how the rest of this season goes. Then its back to pending UFA status and unless the Oilers want to watch him walk for nothing, they will trade him.
