While that did throw me for a loop, if you're going to keep the Oilers as a bottom feeder team for the next fifteen years, you probably need to get rid of McDavid for the sake of the narrative. I think they would have been better off picking a different team and dropping the McDavid bit entirely.

To be fair, if you were forced at gunpoint to pick one team that could spend fifteen years as a bottom feeder with a McDavid-caliber player, Edmonton would be it...

But on a more serious note, if you have to get rid of him for story purposes, it wouldn't be hard to make it even a little more plausible. Like he leaves as a UFA, or to chase a cup in his 30s. Moot point, though: I was somewhat willing to give the fic the benefit of the doubt that there would be a better explanation forthcoming, but now in the latest chapter there's some serious tampering played off like it's nbd so I'm officially done with this fic (which I'm not sure why I was even reading in the first place, tbh).

Eh. It's not terrible and that's apparently where the bar is set for me currently (I accidentally read the first 5 paragraphs of the amputee AU and that was really, really too close to home for me to handle (read the tags, holy shit it was my own fault I ended up there, but really self. mind the tags)). And the tampering made me laugh because while I'm not naive enough to believe it doesn't happen in the NHL. But I sure hope actual NHL GMs are a little more subtle about it than PKane is in the story.

I'm actually not sure the author realizes that's tampering and not allowed. McDavid said he'd had other meetings like that one.
