The comparisons to Lindros are total wishful thinking. With the amount of money guys make now, and the amount of money they stand to make with early free agency, someone like McDavid is potentially leaving over $10 million on the table by refusing to sign for even one year. It simply is not going to happen. He'll suck it up and wear that crappy jersey.
