Before the arrival of the salary cap, an NHL team making final roster decisions had only one thing to worry over: Keeping the 23 best players available, with (perhaps) an eye toward losing a bubble player to waivers. That was it.

Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers are out to avenge losing to Florida by a goal after erasing a 3-0 series deficit, with their sights set on the championship that has eluded them.
