The minute McDavid lost the lottery he should have signed over there.
Money is one thing. Nice to see he is getting 400k over there. But the biggest test is going to be how it impacts his progression to the NHL. I think there was some rumours back in Crosby's draft year that he should go euro pro. We wont see a widespread trend until a few have tested the waters.
