Baffles my mind that people are saying the Oilers won't be able to afford to keep Macdavid after 3 years. This is a team that has a very wealthy owner about to move his team into a new arena in a city that has been selling out for years while paying some of the highest ticket prices in the league. If the Oilers can't afford to pay him then who can?
Here's hoping that if he can stay healthy and motivated, Hall can prove to be a top 20 player. That being said, kind of a weird list. Kopitar and Weber way too low.
I think people mean in terms of the cap?
i think he's talking about more than just the cap. Everybody has the same amount to spend. Why would the Oilers not be able to fit Macdavid in their cap structure while other teams can? Doesn't make sense to think that. Had he said not everybody would be able to stay, I'd agree. It was specifically said, can't afford to keep Macdavid. To me that's some kind of reference to what happened here with Gretzky. That's why I made comments about the franchise's stability in my previous post.I think people mean in terms of the cap?

I think the list is fine.
No one on this team has proven anything.
Let's hope that next year's list has our players a lot higher

This right here. Every dollar needs to count from now on. No more terrible contracts from here on out. Getting rid of Mactavish was a step in the right direction from this perspective alone.We have 12 million at least in wasted cap space with overpaid guys like Purcell, Nikitin, Ference, etc. If we stop overpaying players, we won't need to worry a ton about how we pay McDavid.
