In February 1992, McDougall was traded to the Edmonton Oilers for Max Middendorf but he managed to get into their lineup on just four occasions, scoring two goals and an assist. While playing with the Cape Breton Oilers in the AHL playoffs in 1993, McDougall scored an amazing 52 points in just 16 games and was named the playoff MVP. It seemed he was able to score at every level, but for some reason was never afforded a proper chance to excel at the NHL level. Frustrated by the lack of playing time in Edmonton, McDougall signed a free-agent deal with Tampa Bay in the summer of 1993. It was with the Lightning that he saw his only extended period of playing time in the NHL, suiting up for 22 games. But on a lousy Lightning team, McDougall managed just eight points and that seemed to be the final straw that sent him packing  literally.

In the fall of 1994, McDougall decided to play in Europe. He spent one year in Italy before moving on to Switzerland where he skated for four years. He also tried his hand at playing in the German league but returned to Switzerland in 2000.
