Connor McDavid Is A $100 Million Bargain, But The Oilers' Real Problems Are About To Begin
Connor McDavid, the reigning MVP and still just 20 years old, is going to be in Edmonton for a long, long time, and he’s going to be the highest-salaried player in NHL history—and he’s still a bargain.

The Oilers Reminded Everyone They Have A Young Superstar Not Named Connor McDavid

How's That Adam Larsson Trade Looking Now?

But the Oilers dealt from a position of strength—a glut of scoring forwards—to address a specific need...

Oilers Fans Were Ready For This
May as well put this up top: The Sharks came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2 in overtime, and were the better team by miles after the first period, outshooting Edmonton 44-19 in their Game 1 win.
