There is only one Connor McDavid, he's a generational talent. There's all kinds of first and second liners out there, and more coming into the league every year. I'd argue that the sum of those players is not greater than the value of McDavid himself.

Good points but I think it could be debated either way. Mcdavid, Draisitl and Lucic together will be 27 million!!! I'm not saying it wouldn't hurt to lose McDavid...are Oiler fans really prepared for many more years of pain?
