If he does stay, I dont believe it'll be for max term (unless they win the cup this year). I think he might give them another 3 or 4 years, so if they can't seal the deal then he can still win one while hes on top of his game.
 
McDavid will sign for $17mm minimum for 8 with the Oil or 7 with someone else. Unless of course he has the same agent as Drai who totally misread the revenue structure of the NHL.
 
It’s only my opinion, but McDavid doesn’t seem like a guy who would “chase the Cup”. He definitely wants it, but understands that winning with the Oilers has more impact on his legacy of greatness than going to another club and that is already a winner.
McDavid, Q.Hughes or any player of that stature needs to be reinfored by the GM.
