Oilers wanted 8 years so McDavid's agent made sure they paid for those extra years, good to see he didn't give them a discount. This really hurts their chances of winning the Stanley Cup. This season might be their best chance. I would expect if it was a 5 year deal it would have been close to $10 million. I think the Oilers hurt their chances of winning the Cup the next 5 seasons because they were selfish and wanted to keep McDavid for the full 8 years.
