So, we now have to carry an exactly 20 man roster for 1-2 weeks until McDavid is back because we have zero cap space.

Ken Holland will have been paid 25 million dollars by Daryl Katz by the time he exits stage left and leaves his successor with Connor Brown's ghost using up likely more than the cap increase teams get in 24/25. Scared to think what other disasters he can create for the next guy, on top of the various overpays and boat anchors we already have now.

The eternally crazy thing about the Oilers spending to the cap is that we always have so many holes and so many just-a-guy players on the roster. There are other teams that spend to the cap, and other teams who have a mediocre roster, but it's rare to find a team that can so consistently spend so much on such a mediocre crew.

The team REALLY has to step up now. a couple weeks without McDavid - it could bury the team's chances if they don't start winning.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
