guess we will see but I have a hard time placing Edmonton's D even in the top 10 league wide.
I disagree with the title of the thread too, I mean if u take McDavid away where does this team place? they even make playoffs?
except their lineup was ALOT stronger overall. you take Barkov or Tkachuk away they likely still make the playoffs. take McDavid away and I dunno its not impossible to make it but I dunno if they make it
Of course the Oilers would be worse if you take away the best player the NHL has seen in 30 years and not replace him with anyone...what kind of argument is that?
But what that argument doesn't account for is the 12.5 million in cap space the Oilers could then use on multiple players to strengthen what is an already deep lineup even without McDavid. Draisaitl would still be there as the number #1 Center...or are you taking him out and not replacing him and not allowing the Oilers to use his 8.5 million dollars as well?
Haters gonna hate, simple as that.
