He sees the best player in the world McDavid, and Draisaitl, arguably in the top 20, both having career years. The Oilers knew about his catching hand when they brought him back from the KHL, in case you are wondering. What the Oilers need to find is a winger for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to play with who can score 30. That would be taking from Peter to pay Paul, opening a hole one place to fill another, but, really there are only two untouchable Oilers, McDavid and Draisaitl. He was an absolute rock when the Oilers rolled to 103 points two years ago, which was, in hindsight, an outlier team season.
