00:00now i saw mcdavid today uh talk and i'll probably have this for you tomorrow because it was pretty

00:06telling he's only got one year left on his deal in edmonton he's eligible to be a ufa after next

00:13season i can't imagine him leaving edmonton scotty but listening to him today he started

00:20rolling out the well you know i know i got some unfinished business here gotta see what's best

00:26for me and my family started saying things like that which you probably didn't want to hear uh if

00:33you're an oiler fan you know uh i gotta be honest with you if i were him i like no gretzky got traded

00:41but if i were him i'd like go to los angeles just get out of there i i don't see what the point is

00:48anymore he's already given him everything he can he's uh swung twice and missed at the cup in the

00:55finals i don't think they're just going to keep going back to the stanley cup finals every year

00:59i don't think they're going next year and the year after that he's unrestricted at the end of next

01:04season he's unrestricted and why in god's name would you not look around and see who wants to

01:10give you the most money and i guarantee you it won't be them they don't spend that kind of money

01:16i mean i know they're never going to want to lose him i get that they're never going to want to lose

01:21him but there are teams that can pay him more money without a doubt there are teams that can

01:26afford him and and can pay him more money than the edmonton oilers i truly believe that i do not

01:32believe that the oilers are the highest spending team in the league that's not the way they run it

01:38nope uh and look and they've already they've given dry sidle uh a decent amount of money already

01:45uh so they've already gone and done that i know they don't want to trade him but if he's

01:51kind of non-committal i you gotta consider it right like that's not the kind of guy that you

01:58can lose for nothing they could clean up if they traded him clean up then they'd finally win the cup

02:06uh it's interesting you know it's not as far i know a lot of people thought it was a little

02:12far-fetched right after they lost the other night to start talking about it but when you actually do

02:16think it's it's not completely out of the realm uh especially after listening to him today

02:23you
