Another factor to consider is that the Oilers are bad. Their badness is well known, but often ignored during the offseason when Edmonton begins their annual parade planning. Bad is not something to easily get rid of. McDavid will help to reduce the bad, but the bad is heavily engrained in their souls up there. Bad.

Oilers being compared to the Flyers? lol seriously...

If he chooses the Oilers its because his family wants to live there.

Flyers were in a cup finals 5 years ago. Oilers have been irrelevant for what 10 years?

If I was a coach, I would look at the future and not the past.

Oilers seem to have a better future than Philly.. but who wants to live in Edmonton. Philly >

Oilers should snag Carter and Richards for ez cup

And this is where the debate comes from

Oilers have a franchise prospect coming in, but I'm not sure their future is that better. They still have a lot of question marks

Philly too. Oilers aren't stuck with a shitty contract on a healthy scratch/4th line player. They have stars coming in on ELC. Plenty of space to play with and make trades.
