I've said with McDavid that he'll walk in looking for either a minimum of 14 million for a long term deal or 12 million for a bridge deal that takes him to UFA.

The Oilers will probably try for a long term 11 million deal or a 10 million dollar bridge deal to UFA and they'll end up splitting the difference at either 12.5 for a long term or 11 million for a bridge deal.

I also expect with players like Mathews in the league that the NHLPA will push for McDavid's deal to be the litmus test for max salaries especially with the problems between the PA and the league.
