IMO UFAs like (a) money (b) term (c) location (d) chances of winning right now (they are usually on the back end of their career).
McDavid supplies none of that. In 2005 after Crosby was drafted, the Pens got a few UFAs. But they had to pay (Gonchar got a 5X5 which was huge in those days and Palffy got 3x4.5).
