Totally agree. I don't understand why some people expected McDavid to give the Oilers a break. He's only been there 2 years, it's not his hometown, any they have not won anything. The only incentive to take less is to help the Oilers have the money to build a more complete team, which you see some players do, but typically not on the 1st money contract. If i was going to be marooned in Edmonton you better believe I'm getting paid for it.
