McD is an amazing player but he was gassed by the end and had nothing left to give. If they had more depth, guy wouldn't need to play 25 minutes a game and could be even more effective.
In a salary cap world, it doesn't matter how good each individual is if they aren't being paid below market value. What matters more is if a player is our producing his AAV. That's just the reality of how it works. So if McD wanted to win, he'll need to take that into account for his next contract.
McDavid's AAV for what he currently brings is actually really good value. We shall see what his next contract is. More interesting is what Drai will do.....And how much he will sign for and if he stays with the Oilers. If Drai sees out his contract and moves to pastures new, I could see next year as being the best year for the Oilers to win the cup.
