Draft capital spent this year: 27' 1st, 28' 2nd, 29' 2nd
Return: Jarry, Murphy, Dach, Dickinson

Last year: 26' 1st, 25' 2nd, 26' 4th
Return: Frederic, Walman

2 years ago: 24' 1st, 25' 4th, 27' 4th, 25' 5th
Return: Henrique, Stetcher

They would be likely replenishing with 1st round picks that will be later than where they would be picking but the reality is that McDavid isn't the sharpest pencil in the box so in his mind he will think he still owes the team and city to play so I would expect he remains with them next season even if they miss the playoffs this year. It will be next offseason when he's likely traded.
