Was this McDavid’s mindset?
There’s one person in Vegas who hates it when I refer to the Vegas Golden Knights as ruthless. I mean it as a compliment. Yeah. Like they have this ruthless pursuit of the Stanley Cup. They’re not interested in feelings and they don’t care if they break some of the China in the shop. They don’t care. They are just singularly focused on winning the Stanley Cup. And I’ll put Conor McDavid in that ruthless category as well. This is a guy that said, “I am going to be your state tax discount with my contract. I am putting my contract up against all those deals signed in Florida. I am your state tax balance here. You can have your state tax in Florida. That’s fine. I’m going to do this organization and this fan base a solid. I am your tax base discount. Let’s level the playing field. [Music]

Well… McDavid is inspiring everyone from management to the players. Pretty smart.
This was my thinking as well with McDavid's extension. The Oilers don't have any excuse anymore to not get what they need. And they need to adopt that mindset. If you're not going to help, bye bye.
