So to clarify I don't want to and hope we don't. But I'm curious what we could get if we traded McDavid with term left on his contract? What if we traded both McDavid and Draistl? Could we get a package we couldn't refuse like the Lindros trade that led to a Stanley cup? Thoughts

Nope. The Lindros deal is unrepeatable in the salary cap age. You just can't get a full line worth of decent players and have them not be worth a fortune. It would be tough to make it work with the contract limit as well.
The Oilers can't win a McDavid trade. Best case scenario we get a couple of good but not great players, and that's just not enough. If you look at most of the superstar trades since the Lindros deal, they've been hugely underwhelming:
Wayne Gretzky
- to the St. Louis Blues for Patrice Tardif, Craig Johnson, Roman Vopat and 1st rd pick
Eric Lindros
- to New York Rangers for Jan Hlavac, Kim Johnsson, Pavel Brendl and 3rd rd pick
Jaromir Jagr
- to the Washington Capitals with Frank Kucera for Kris Beech, Ross Lupaschuk & Michal Sivek
Chris Pronger
- to the Edmonton Oilers for Eric Brewer, Doug Lynch, Jeff Woywitka
- to the Anaheim Ducks for Joffrey Lupul, Ladislav Smid, two 1st rd picks and a 2nd rd pick
- to the Philadelphia Flyers with Ryan Dingle for Joffrey Lupul, Luca Sbisa, two 1st rd picks
You get the point here. A McDavid trade would see us get back a roster player or two plus prospects and picks. It would be devastating for the morale of the remaining team and the fanbase. Other players would ask to get out. It would be miserable.
We have the best player in the league and another guy who is top five. Just build around them for crying out loud. It isn't as hard as Oilers management always makes it.
