McDavid is in the summer after his second season in which he won the Art Ross, Ted Lindsey & Hart.
If he signs a five year deal for 17.3% of a $75-million cap, it would be $12. 975 for five years (for a total of $64.875).
I wouldn't be surprised if he lands about there. He would be taking a bit of a discount, but not the ridiculous amount suggested by some Oiler fans. They are probably starting off asking for $14 million or even more. |
Contract confirmed.
