I thought he was supposed to sign an offer sheet with the Oilers as revenge according to their fans.

The Oilers need to lose McDavid to have the cap space to do it. This fits that timeline just fine.

No one tell the Oilers, but deals like this are how you shore up the middle of your lineup. Turns out that's a pretty critical way to win a cup!

27 goals in his first full NHL season.
If the Blues find him a playmaking center, he will score 40

think I saw our own Freeway have him as a comparable to Zary...

Don't you need draft picks to sign a player to an offer sheet? Haven't the Oilers traded all theirs away?

The Oilers still have their own… (checks notes) 6th and 7th this year. That will allow them to make offer sheets on… (checks notes) a second-hand bus, a used mascot costume, and that old fan favourite, Future Considerations.

Like a good Neighbours, he spurned the Oil.

Rob Thomas has 57 and 60 assists in 2 of the last three seasons. Not many centers who have bettered that number. Have they tried playing Neighbours with Thomas?

Zary comparable? If we go the bridge route

I remember some were obsessed with getting this guy in a package from the Blues for Chucky when it was determined that Chucky would never win anything because he'll never show up when it matters and his skating is bad.

He has been a totally different player in Florida and good on him but it's not a myth that he didn't show up for the Flames when they needed him as he put up only 7 goals and 8 assists in 25 playoff games. When the Flames needed their best players to be their best players, he wasn't for the Flames.

I'm sure they have tried, but generally, last season Neighbours mostly played with Schenn, and this season he has split time with Schenn or Buchnevich when Pavel is not playing wing on the Thomas line
