Great thing about this deal is it sneakly turned him back from A UFA this summer to A RFA next summer ,so if he breaks out in a big way with McDavid next season we control his rights

Actually, that's the worst case scenario.

I'm fine with this signing, but anything that prevents the Oilers from going out and and getting a real 1st line winger to play with McDavid scares the hell out of me.
Why? McDavid has already proven he can produce with anyone. Give him one good winger with Nuge and a cheap complimentary winger and it frees up some money to buy better quality on Draisaitl's wing. McDavid's wingers are the least of my worries, he's so good that he will produce no matter what.
