We are such a weird fanbase. Maybe a better word is insecure. Yes I’m going to generalize, but why all the hand-wringing if Leon and/or McDavid want to bail somewhere else? Why would they when it’s obvious that there are a lot of good things going on with the Oilers?
Were the Pittsburgh fans all worried that Crosby and Malkin were going to leave? We’re the Avs fans worried that MacKinnon was going to leave. Even TO with Aust0n and his first renewal?
For all of these players, at least in my simpleton mind, they of course were going to re-sign with their original team. Why won’t Leon or Connor? Of course they CAN, but why would they at this point?
I know we all want the deals to be done and confirmed, but let’s just have some patience and let things happen when they happen, and be happy that we aren’t Calgary!
