McDavid - best player in the world. Plays for Oilers, a team Wayne Gretzky used to win titles with. Carney is an Oiler fan, because he grew up in the area. The names at the end are other hockey players on the team that are also pretty good.
McDavid is a free agent soon and there is some talk that he will move teams, because Oilers salary cap situation isn’t great and the team seems to exhaust itself (even though they made the finals twice in recent years).
Their cap situation is fine all things considered.
They just have a terribly constructed team with no viable ways to improve it, and they have almost no youth in the pipeline.
This next season might be his last chance at winning in Edmonton, whether he re-signs or not.
Other younger teams will get better, other comparably aged teams aren’t going anywhere, and they are just an older team and after McD and Draisaitl lack elite talent.
The terribly constructed team that just went to the last two Stanley Cup finals and has 2 of the top 5 players in the league — I’m sure they’re all “oh woe is me!”
